A Lanarkshire brute who broke his partner's arm with a chair leg has been jailed for 13 months.
Airdrie Sheriff Court heard that when the woman pleaded with James Graham to stop and asked why he was trying to hurt her, he replied 'I'm not trying. I am hurting you'.
Graham, 27, admitted assaulting the woman to her severe injury at her home in Lochlea Road, Cumbernauld, on November 27 last year.
