A man has denied seriously assaulting his girlfriend by punching her in the vagina, stomach and head during a sustained attack.
19-year-old Alex Lockey, of Radnor Street, appeared at Swindon Magistrates’ Court this week charged with actual bodily harm (ABH) and threats to kill.
The Crown’s case is that the Swindon man – after smoking cannabis – punched his alleged ictim in the legs having accused her of staring at him whilst he played a video game in her room at The Foyer in Old Town.
It is alleged that he then followed her into the bathroom where he punched her in the vagina several times, before striking her in the head.
It’s said he then punched her several times in the stomach and said: “Can’t handle that can you”. Following that, it’s alleged he punched her in the eye and back of the head causing her to fall unconsious.
The crown prosecutor claimed the alleged victim came round to Mr Lockey’s hand on her mouth. He’s said to have then picked up scissors and held them to her throat before stating: “I’ll do it, I’ll petrol bomb you.”
The defendant denies the charges.
The case was adjourned for a trial. He was released on bail with conditions not to go to Bath Road and not to contact his alleged victim directly or indirectly.
