 A man has been handed a 12-year jail sentence after a violent assault on his partner left her with a bleed on the brain.

Liam Hardy, 37, of Dene Park, Durham was found guilty of GBH with intent and affray at Carlisle Crown Court.

He also pleaded guilty to criminal damage at a previous hearing.

On January 27 2023, Hardy was visiting a caravan site in Penrith with his now ex-partner before an argument broke out between the pair.

Hardy attacked his partner by headbutting her, throwing a coffee table and punching her in the head and face.

Police were alerted to the attack after a neighbouring lodge contact police to report a woman had knocked on their window asking them for help, before Hardy made threats to assault them.

Officers arrived as Hardy was attempting to leave the scene in his car, where he crashed into a parked car.

The victim spent 11 days in hospital with a bleed on the brain, suffered shift displacement and damaged tissue to the brain as a result of the viscous attack.

She also suffered a broken nose and two black eyes because of Hardy headbutting her and a broken finger in an attempt to defend herself.

Significant damage was also caused to the holiday lodge.

DC Stephen Knight said: “This was an extremely violent and traumatising experience for the victim leaving her covered in blood and requiring surgery due to her life changing injuries.

“Hardy is a violent individual and is rightly now in prison for this horrific attack.

“I would like to praise the victim for providing her account and I hope that Hardy’s sentence can provide her with some reassurance that justice has been done.

“Domestic abuse is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

“If you are a victim of domestic abuse or know someone who is a victim, please get in touch so that our officers can investigate. You will be supported throughout the investigation.”
