A court heard how a woman feared for her unborn child when she was attacked by her partner. Matthew Rushton, 24, assaulted his partner on three separate occasions in Lancaster.
He strangled his partner, smashed her head off a while and attacked her while she was at the wheel of her car. Recorder Eric Lamb said there were “considerable tensions” in the relationship and the couple argued frequently.
Rushton slapped his partner and strangled her during a fight in July 2021. He left the house but banged her head against a wall as he went, Lancs Live reports.
