A Kidderminster man has been jailed for assaulting a woman at a Kidderminster pub in an incident which resulted in a baby falling to the floor.

Jamie Worrall pleased guilty to common assault, affray, dangerous driving and criminal damage in relation to an incident at the Loom & Shuttle pub on December 9 last year and was jailed for two years and four months.

The 38-year-old, of Sandicliffe Close, pushed the woman to the ground before picking her up by her hair and pushing her into a table.

He then knocked over a highchair, resulting in an eight-month-old baby falling to the floor.

During the assault members of the public tried to intervene and stop him, but Worrall then also hit them before fleeing the pub and using his car to drive over benches outside.

Worrall was sentenced to two years and four months and also received a 16-month disqualification from driving at Worcester Crown Court yesterday (Monday June 17).

Detective Constable Hopkins said: “I hope the sentence that Mr Worrall has received is a strong message that such violence will not be tolerated in our community.

"Members of the public, including a baby who thankfully didn’t sustain any injuries, have the right to feel safe while spending time with each other and I hope this result in court brings the people hurt that afternoon some kind of solace after what must have a terrifying experience”.

Worrall also pleaded guilty to another charge of criminal damage relating to an unconnected incident on 6 April last year when he reserved into a police car.

During the incident on April 6 Worrall was seen driving erratically before parking on a driveway.

When police approached him, he reversed his vehicle into a marked police car and then drove off at speed in order to escape from the officer.

In addition to the charges, Worrall was also found to have breached a Criminal Behaviour Order.
