A brute battered a woman and told her 'you shouldn't f*** with a London man', a court heard.
Pedro Oliveira would boast to his victim about being born and brought up in the south of England during his violent rages against her. A judge said he 'made her life a misery' and 'regarded her as no more than a punch bag'.
During one incident, the 28-year-old engineer repeatedly slammed the woman's head against the floor of her home in Stalybridge, Minshull Street Crown Court was told. In another instance, he texted her when she was at home and gave her a chilling countdown before kicking down her front door.
