A violent offender has been jailed after assaulting and threatening to kill a woman he met in the pub and hitting another man with a baseball bat outside a hotel. Days after meeting the woman, Luke Hancock, of Waldrom Road, Gedling, attacked the woman on December 3, 2022 and also caused damage to her car windscreen.
He went on to send her numerous threatening messages between December 3 and December 31 despite being told she did not want to continue a relationship. The messages included threats against both her and her children.
The 33 year old was arrested on New Year's Eve after Nottinghamshire Police received reports of a fight in the Mapperley Park area of the city. Following an argument Hancock had punched and hit a man with a baseball bat, hitting him on his head, body and legs which caused him pain and bruising.
