Man slashed woman in bath with broken glass in drink and drugs rage
ATTACKER JAILED AFTER DENYING CHARGES
A DERBY man attacked a woman with a piece of glass in a drink and drugfuelled rage while she was in the bath.
Daniel Jackson slashed at the woman after deciding to continue an argument. She was wounded in the lower back as she tried to defend herself.
Jackson, aged 37, had earlier smashed two bottles after flying into a fit of anger, and grabbed the woman’s phone and threw it against the living room wall.
A short time later, he grabbed a piece of the broken glass and attacked her while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She managed to get out of the bath and snatch Jackson’s phone to call police. Officers arrested him at the Mansfield address on November 6 last year.
Jackson had also assaulted the woman a few months earlier – throwing a punch at her while drunk during an argument in the street. The woman sustained bruises to her arm in that incident, which happened in Uttoxeter Old Road, Derby, on August 2, 2021. Jackson, of Kingsway, Derby, appeared before Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday, where he denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm, assault by beating and criminal damage. But the jury found him guilty and he was jailed for 20 months. Det Insp Daniel Holloway, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Jackson’s actions were completely inexcusable and could have quite easily resulted in his victim coming to serious harm. He subjected a woman to an extremely scary ordeal after launching into a drunken rage and brandishing what was, by all intents and purposes, a dangerous weapon. “Nottinghamshire Police has a zero-tolerance approach to all incidents of violence against women and girls and will always do whatever it takes to safeguard victims and ensure they get the justice they deserve. I hope that the sentencing handed out in court serves as a warning to other people that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated and will be punished.”
