Subscriber only A woman feared for her life when she was kneed, choked, spat on and dragged by the throat by her partner who was armed with a taser, a court heard. George David was on parole when he brutally attacked the woman early last year, Crown prosecutor William Slack said. He said David punched the woman in the face before stealing her phone and running away on April 18. Two days later, the woman left the house she was staying at for a brief period and returned to find David standing inside. David closed the door, grabbed her by the throat while armed with a taser and dragged her to a bedroom, Mr Slack said.
