A man who violently assaulted his girlfriend in public was beaten up by neighbors who came to her aid. The offender was surprised when bystanders refused to be passive onlookers and intervened, leaving him with a severe black eye.
Ryan Parker, who had been drinking heavily at a pub that day, arrived at his girlfriend’s house, and the two got into a heated argument. Parker started verbally assaulting her, with witnesses saying he was telling her she “was a waste of space that deserved to die.”
The 32-year-old then escalated the situation, slapping and punching his partner of about 14 years until she fell to the floor. The assault continued and, fearing for the victim’s life, neighbors stepped in, beating the man unconscious.
