Man escaped handcuffs after arrest over attack
VIOLENT BULLY ATTACKED HIS PARTNER AND LUNGED AT POLICE OFFICERS IN VAN
A ‘VIOLENT bully’ who viciously attacked his partner following a drunken row got out of his handcuffs while being taken away in a police van, a court heard.
Bartosz Mogila-Lisowski, 40, had been with the woman for three years, but it was a ‘volatile’ relationship which was exacerbated by drink.
She was at Mogila-Lisowski’s flat in Salford in November last year, and the pair had both been drinking.
Mogila-Lisowski was texting his mother, which later caused a row with his partner after she asked him to stop.
Her memory of what happened is unclear, prosecutors said, but MogilaLisowski admitted punching her to the face.
The police were called and overheard a ‘heated discussion’ between the couple. When they knocked on the door, the woman answered and her face was swollen and bloodied.
Mogila-Lisowski , who was in the living room, was arrested and taken away.
The woman’s clothes had been torn, and she had to use towels to cover herself up, prosecutor Andrew Scott told Manchester Crown Court.
While in the police van, MogilaLisowski repeatedly banged on the cage and was behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.
Mogila-Lisowski ‘managed to somehow escape from the cage’ and got into the main part of the vehicle.
There he ‘lunged’ at the two police officers. They were able to stop and restrain Mogila-Lisowski again.
The woman was taken to hospital and was found to have swelling and dried blood on her.
When he was interviewed by police, Mogila-Lisowski replied ‘no comment’ to questions.
He admitted two counts of common assault on an emergency worker, and changed his plea to guilty for an offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on the day of a proposed trial.
In May, while on bail awaiting sentence for these offences, MogilaLisowski, of Bridgewater Street, Salford, was fined by magistrates for spitting on a police officer’s shoulder.
Now a judge has jailed MogilaLisowski for six months, after saying the offences were too serious for him to walk free from court. Defending, Isobel Thomas said MogilaLisowski would ‘lose everything’ if he went to jail, including his job as a shift supervisor.
Judge Alan Conrad QC told the defendant: “Over the course of an argument you launched into a vicious attack on your partner, causing significant injury to her face.
“She is a woman who is vulnerable, due to her emotional and other health problems.
“Your conduct here overall is so serious that only immediate custody can be justified.” Judge Alan Conrad QC
