A vile thug headbutted his partner and broke her nose after demanding “respect” from her.

The Liverpool Echo reports that Mark Woolley, 50, of Grangemoor, Runcorn, and his partner had been arguing during the weekend of October 29 and on Saturday, October 30, she asked him to leave. Jayne Morris, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court sitting at Chester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, said Woolley began to pack a bag but then refused to leave.

He then followed his victim downstairs as the argument continued, while she shouted at him to leave and he told her: “You need to have respect for me. You will lose the best thing in your life. You will never meet anyone like me. You will be on your own forever.”

Woolley then pressed his head against hers before moving it away briefly then slammed it back against her nose.

His victim was “shocked” and “there was blood everywhere”.

Police were called and arrested Woolley, who claimed “she attacked me so I retaliated”.

At hospital the victim was diagnosed as having suffered a one-millimetre fracture to her nose.

Her injured nose was treated with glue with the offer of a “deviation” being moved back into place, but this was declined.

Ms Morris said Woolley was charged over the assault on May 18 this year.

A non-molestation order (NMO) was imposed on November 11, which Woolley breached when his victim allowed him to stay at her home on June 10-12.

During this time he “became argumentative” while watching a film, and “became angry” while out shopping and he wanted to buy alcohol.

He also threw his Sunday dinner at a sink, threw her phone at a wall, and while he was "looking psychotic" said he wanted to read her messages.

In a victim impact statement, the victim said she had suffered anxiety
