Thug who brutally knocked his girlfriend out in street is jailed

A thug has been jailed after shattering his girlfriend's eye socket in an unprovoked brutal street attack that left her unconscious.

Thomas Jennings struck his partner with a mobile phone in a seemingly motiveless attack before throwing her to the floor and kicking her in the head.

The sickening assault in Harbreck Grove, Liverpool on March 31 knocked her out, smashed her eye socket and broke her jaw.

Career criminal Jennings, 30, left his girlfriend motionless in the street and began walking away before telling one witness: 'If you filmed me, I'll f****** burn your house down.'

But he has now been jailed after admitting causing grievous bodily harm with intent to then-girlfriend Paula Richardson, who was found with a gash to her head and still suffers vision problems after undergoing surgery.
