He then started smashing windows at the front of the house, causing the glass to shatter and fall into the rooms inside – including the room where his young child had been sleeping.
After this he attempted to kick the front door in, and then went to his car which he also started to smash up.
Police were called out to the scene after numerous calls, both from the victim and neighbours.
When Herewini saw the police, he grabbed a beer bottle and hurled it at one of the constables.
However, while the bottle narrowly missed the officer, it struck a woman who had been sitting in her car nearby – causing bruising to her arm.
