BRYAN DRUM GALASHIELS ASSAULTS WOMAN CAUSING PERMANENT SCARRING AND HEAD INJURY
A man has been sentenced at a Scottish sheriff court for a violent assault that left a woman permanently affected.The incident occurred last year during a domestic dispute that escalated into serious violence.
Court proceedings heard that a heated argument turned physical when the man forcefully pushed the victim, causing her to fall and suffer a lasting injury.
She was left visibly distressed in the aftermath of the attack.
The court was told the assault caused a permanent mark, serving as a reminder of what happened.
The victim did not request a formal protection order against the offender.
The 36-year-old admitted the offence and accepted responsibility.
The sheriff imposed a sentence of unpaid community work, emphasising rehabilitation rather than prison.
