A man who violently attacked a woman in Hartlepool has been jailed for more than three years.
Levi Martin, 27, was arrested after officers were called to an assault at an address in Hartlepool in the early hours of 20th January 2024.
Following an argument, Martin repeatedly hit the victim and threw her down the stairs causing a substantial cut to the back of her head and bruising to her body.
Martin, from Hartlepool, was soon charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and he appeared at court where he pleaded guilty to the offence.
On Thursday 10th October, Martin appeared at Teesside Crown Court where he was sentenced to three years and two months.
Investigating officer, James Smith from the Domestic Abuse Unit said: “This was an extremely violent attack which will no doubt have a lasting impact on the victim.
“I hope this sentencing reassures victims that we can and will take action. We have specialist officers who will support you throughout our investigations and any court process.
“You can report an incident to Cleveland Police at any time of day or night via the 101 number, or online via our website.”
