Jail For Cambridge Man Who Assaulted Partner And Family

A man who assaulted his partner, as well as her mother and nephew, has been jailed for seven months.

Glenn Holland, 44, was at a pub in Fulbourn Road, Cambridge, with his partner, a woman in her 50s, and her mum, who is in her 80s, at about 2pm on Sunday (23 August).

While at the pub Holland began arguing with his partner, staff and other patrons, before he saw red and pushed the woman to the floor.

The woman ordered a taxi for her and her mum to take them back to her home in Scotland Road, Cambridge.

A few hours later Holland came to the house, banging on the locked front door demanding to be let in.

As he became increasingly agitated he started trying to kick the door open.

When he was unsuccessful at the front door he turned his attention to a side gate, which he managed to force open despite it being locked with a padlock.

After eventually getting inside, Holland was verbally aggressive to his partner’s nephew, who is in his teens, and punched him to the head multiple times.

His partner tried to intervene but was greeted by a flurry of punches to the face, causing a suspected broken nose.

The victim’s mother again tried to intervene but she was also struck to the face.

Police were called and arrived minutes later to arrest Holland.

Holland, of Thurnall Avenue, Royston, was sentenced at Cambridge Magsitrates’ Court yesterday (25 August) after pleading guilty to four counts of assault by beating and criminal damage.

He was also made the subject of a two-year restraining order preventing him from contacting the victims and ordered to pay £700 in compensation.
