A man violently attacked a woman and shook a baby after receiving a call regarding problems with his benefit payment.
Daniel Williams became "angry and aggressive" following a call from the Job Centre on March 8 this year and took his frustration out on a woman before "shaking" a baby. The 21-year-old also caused damage to a door by punching it before he was arrested.
Williams, of West Denton, Newcastle, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for child cruelty, assault, and criminal damage. He had pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
