Man left woman covered in blood in ‘disgraceful’ Chesterfield attack
A man who assaulted his partner in Chesterfield town centre leaving her covered in blood has been jailed.
A member of the public called police after seeing a couple arguing in the McDonald’s restaurant in Low Pavements just after 6am on 21 December.
Derbyshire police said officers attended and found the pair walking near Falcon Yard, with the woman covered in blood.
Both said they had been assaulted by a group of men outside a nightclub, but CCTV footage captured Charlie Brewin assaulting the woman including punching her to the face several times.
Brewin was arrested and given bail conditions not to contact the woman.
However he breached them by repeatedly calling and messaging her as well as hacking into her social media accounts.
On one occasion he went to her house and was throwing things at the window as well as damaging the door as he attempted to get in to the property.
The 27-year-old, of Park Lane, Littleover, has now been jailed for two years and eight months after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm, threats to kill and criminal damage.
PC Aneta Kozicka, who led the investigation, said: “Brewin tried to pass off this assault as having been committed by someone else, repeatedly saying the pair had been attacked by other people in an attempt to distance himself.
“But he soon realised once he was shown the CCTV of the incident that he couldn’t get away with it and he would have to admit what he did.
“The violence and aggressive behaviour he subjected this woman to was simply disgraceful and left her so scared that she initially didn’t want to report him.
“But having the assault captured on camera meant there was nowhere for him to hide.
“Even after being released on bail for that offence though he still didn’t leave her alone and carried on trying to message her, going to her house and no doubt leaving her terrified.
“I hope that knowing he is now in prison will allow her some comfort to begin rebuilding her life.”
