An abusive Leeds thug has been jailed after kicking his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach.
Alfie Mclean, of Spencer Lane, had been in a relationship with the victim for three years when he subjected her to a “brutal and aggressive” attack. As well as kicking her in the stomach, he repeatedly punched her in the arm, strangled her and threatened her with a knife. Mclean, 20, was arrested soon after and pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, intentional strangulation and criminal damage. He was sentenced to two years and six months in prison at Leeds Crown Court on October 30.
The victim ran to the kitchen and Mclean followed, producing a knife from his jacket and threatening to kill her. He slashed in the direction of her neck, narrowly missing. However, a second attempt was blocked by the victim’s hand leaving her with a serious cut that needed hospital treatment. Although Mclean was temporarily locked out of the flat, he later returned and continued the assault.
