A man who smashed into his former partner’s home and violently assaulted her has been jailed.
Lynden Brown, aged 42, was already banned by a restraining order from approaching his victim when he turned up her home in Clifton, Nottingham, on 23 December last year.
With the woman out of the house, Brown gained entry and waited for her inside.
When she returned, he violently assaulted her before going outside and smashing up her car.
Brown, who had threatened the previous evening to turn up at his victim’s home, fled the scene but retuned a short time later and barged his way back inside after repeatedly charging at her door.
With much of the incident recorded on doorbell camera, Brown, of Fleming Gardens, Clifton, later pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and three counts of criminal damage.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday (17 July) he was jailed for three years. His restraining order was also extended.
Detective Constable Ioana Parr, a specialist domestic abuse officer working at Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This was a horrible and frightening experience for the victim who was terrorised and assaulted in her own home by Brown.
“This kind of violence against women is absolutely appalling and we will always work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice and safeguard victims.
“I am pleased Brown has now been brought to justice and is now not able to harm his victim.”
