A vicious abuser chased down his ex-girlfriend in a dark alleyway, knocked her to the ground and struck her with a metal pole.
Dylan Rose, of Waverley Road, Liverpool, stalked his former partner for months, bombarding her with abusive text messages and threatening to set his dogs on her and burn down her mother's house.
When she reported him to Merseyside Police, he tried to intimidate her into retracting her claims, calling her "a grass and a straight-up rat".
