A DUBLIN man bit his partner on the scalp, threatened to put a cigarette in her eye and held a lighter beside her face after accusing her of having an affair, it is alleged.
Adam O’Toole (28) is also accused of falsely imprisoning the woman in their bedroom during one of three separate attacks on her.
He is facing trial after a judge ruled the allegations were too serious to be dealt with at Dublin District Court.
Judge Bryan Smyth adjourned the case for the consent of the DPP for a return for trial to the circuit court.
Mr O’Toole, of Summerhill Place, Dublin 1 is charged with assault causing harm to his then partner three times at their home on August 8, 9 and 11, 2019.

A BROTHER who threatened to kill his sister in a family feud over a house inheritance has been spared a criminal record after making a charity donation.
Gary Kelly (57) warned his sister in a phone call: “over my dead body, you won’t get the house and “there will be blood spilled - your blood.”
Their mother’s wish before she died was to divide the house between siblings, but a dispute broke out over a request for the property to instead go to his sister, Dublin District Court heard.
Kelly had drunk too much when he made the call, and the feud “boiled over” and got to him, his defence said.
