A man from Farnworth has received a jail sentence after being found guilty of a prolonged assault on his partner, which took place in the presence of their two-year-old child.Jamie Walsh, aged 28, was handed a 16-week prison term by magistrates on January 29.
The incident happened on December 23, with the young child present in the same room, despite Walsh being on bail at the time.
