SOUTHAMPTON MAN JAILED FOR VIOLENT ASSAULT ON PARTNER
The article reports that Gary Hudson, aged 25, from Terminus Terrace, Southampton, was involved in a violent assault on his partner, Hannah Cove, during a late-night drunken row.
He twice punched her, knocking her against a bridge on West End Road, Southampton, and then walked up and down the road before punching her again, causing her head to jolt backwards and forwards.
Witnesses saw Hudson walking into the road, swaying, and repeatedly banging on a vehicle's bonnet and hitting a door.

The court heard that Hudson has a history of violent offenses, with 33 previous convictions.
Hudson admitted to common assault and criminal damage, and was sentenced to a five-month suspended sentence with two years' supervision and ordered to attend a domestic abuse programme, in a case overseen by Mr Justice Royce.
