The victim had been at the property with his two young children when he was attacked in his own kitchen and punched in the face
The incident happened on September 15, 2019, but had taken years to reach court because Ryfczynski, of Harehills Lane, Leeds, had denied an initial charge of burglary.
He was due to stand trial this week, but admitted a charge of assault and criminal damage which was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service. Ryfczynski said he had two previous convictions, including a drink-driving offence in Sweden, and assault in his native Poland. Mitigating, Stuart Field told the court that the 33-year-old had come to the UK five years ago from Poland and had found work in the construction industry.
He said had had gone to the property that day to confront the landlord after trying to evict his friend."It’s difficult to argue with what the complainant has said in his victim impact statement, the fact it took place in his property and there were children property.The judge, Recorder Robert Ward gave him a 12-month community order with 160 hours of unpaid work, and told him he also needed to pay compensation for the damage he caused to the laptop.
