A man has been jailed after a brutal, drug-fueled assault on a woman in front of a public laundromat in Dandenong.
Adrian Jacobson, 40, pleaded guilty to common-law assault for punching his domestic partner to the ground then repeatedly kicking her to the head, chest and body about noon on Friday 25 June.
Jacobson dropped his knee on her, stomped on the back of her head and kicked her face while yelling obscenities at her, a police summary tendered to Dandenong Magistrates’ Court stated.
Two witnesses intervened and helped the victim to her feet. But they retreated to a shop when Jacobson turned his aggression to them.
