PETERHEAD FACTORY WORKER’S ‘SHOCKING’ ASSAULT ON PARTNER LAID BARE
Rafal Boruch was in the dock at Peterhead Sheriff Court, where he was sentenced for violently attacking a woman in her own home.The 30-year-old was so drunk at the time that when police officers arrived at the property he was found passed out and half-naked in a spare room – before turning his anger on them.
Fiscal depute Alan Townsend told the court that Boruch had returned home drunk on the night of August 2 after consuming so much alcohol that his friends needed to help him into his home.
There, his girlfriend began helping him get to the toilet when he suddenly turned violent and rained down punches on her.
She ran to the kitchen to try and get their child out of harm’s way, but continued to be assaulted by Boruch, who began delivering kicks as they struggled on the ground.
Eventually, she would make it to the hallway and be thrown against a shelving unit.
Police arrived shortly after 10pm to find the woman waiting for them in the street after dialling for help.
“She was distressed on the phone call,” Mr Townsend said.
“She remained on the street with [her child] until the police arrived.” Officers found Boruch passed out in a room of the home, half-naked.
Waking him, police became the target of his fury.
Mr Townsend said Boruch “puffed his chest out” and then took a swing at an officer, which missed.
He was then arrested.
“He says he can’t really remember anything in the interview,” the fiscal depute added.
