A MAN from Wrexham has been jailed for two attacks on women – including one while his partner was pregnant.

The first assault was on a woman in a pub, Mold Crown Court was told.

CCTV footage played to the court showed the woman being thrown across the floor.

She was knocked out cold and her nose was broken.

The second assault by Jason Douglas Littler was on his pregnant partner.

He banged her head on the floor four times and kneed her in the stomach – before getting a pair of scissors and cutting her hair.

Littler, 40, of Benjamin Road in Wrexham, who had previous convictions for 86 offences, was jailed for two years and two months after he admitted two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The judge imposed consecutive 12 month sentences for each assault with an extra two months from a previous suspended sentence.

Judge David Hale said Littler's behaviour was unbelievable.

And when he was sober he would look back at it in disgust, the judge said.

Barrister Dafydd Roberts, prosecutng, said on March 1 last year Melanie Lowell was at The Golden Lion pub in Wrexham when Littler approached aggressively.

She feared for her safety and placed a coat stand between them to protect herself but she remembered nothing more.

Witnesses heard him say "why are you telling my girlfriend I hit women?" and threw her across the floor.

She struck her head on a table and lost consciousness.

At Wrexham Maelor Hospital she was found to have bruising to her face and a broken nose.

Then on January 6, while on a suspended sentence, he and his partner Melissa Williams returned home after celebrating his birthday.

He had seven pints, some shots and a line of cocaine and she had a total of four pints.

All was well until they returned home and he became aggressive, she was scared, the police were called and she was taken away and went to stay with a friend.

She and the friend returned about midnight and he came downstairs and "flew off the handle".

He grabbed her by the hair, took her to the ground and banged her head against the floor on four occasions.

She was nine weeks pregnant at the time and he kneed her to the stomach and punched her to the jaw.

He then got a pair of scissors and cut some of her hair before returning upstairs.

She locked herself in a downstairs toilet and rang the police, said Mr Roberts.

Duncan Bould, defending, said that the defendant had admitted both offences.

He would have been prepared to admit the second assault on an earlier occasion if the prosecution papers had been ready.

The first occurred in a public house and the second was a domestic assault.

The nature of the injuries was unpleasant.

Littler had a good work record and had worked hard.

He had his own home on mortgage and could lose his home as a result of what had happened.

Judge Hale said the attack on his partner showed the total disregard he had for her.

In the pub he lost his temper and threw her with immense force when she hit her head against a table.

She could have been seriously hurt, he said.

While on bail he assaulted his pregnant partner, banging her head four times and cutting her hair. the judge said.
