A son convicted of killing his dad is back behind bars after attacking a woman.
Geoffrey Bulman was jailed for six years in January 2016 after he was found guilty of the manslaughter of his father, George Bulman.
Pensioner Mr Bulman, known as Brian, died from bleeding on and around his brain and had suffered multiple injuries to his face, head and body.

Having been released from custody, Bulman went on to attack a woman on two successive days last summer.
During an appearance at Newcastle Crown Court, he pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm on August 29 and 30.
No details of the offences were revealed during a brief hearing and Bulman, 52, of Stratford Grove West, Heaton, Newcastle, was further remanded in custody until his sentencing hearing in April.
Recorder Caroline Goodwin QC told him: "You've had the good sense to listen to the advice of your counsel and have entered guilty pleas.
"You will be sentenced in due course. I make no promises, sentence is at large."
In the manslaughter case, we reported at the time how Bulman savagely beat his father after a row about him being “up to no good” with his on-off partner.
He then left him in a pool of blood and vomit to go out drinking, jurors were told.
Mr Bulman was attacked after returning home to Stratford Grove West, in Heaton, Newcastle, on the night of December 28 2014, after being at Heaton Buffs club.
By the time an ambulance was called the next day, Mr Bulman was cold to the touch and barely breathing and his life couldn’t be saved, jurors were told.
Bulman initially stood trial for murder but was cleared.
Defending, Sam Stein QC, told the court Bulman had a below average IQ and that the family was standing by him.
He added: “Geoffrey did, in his own way, love his father.
“The way in which he spoke of his father, he clearly idolised him.”
