Amaar Tayeh, aged 29, of Infirmary Road, Upperthorpe, was convicted of one count of assault by beating following a trial in his absence at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court.

Robert Coyne, prosecuting, said: “It was an allegation of an assault in the street in the context of a domestic relationship after they had been to a social occasion.”

Mr Coyne added there was an allegation of assault with the complainant being dragged along the ground causing injuries.

Police brought a thug to justice after he assaulted his partner in the street.

US national Tayeh pleaded not guilty but was found guilty in his absence. He pleaded guilty to failing to surrender court after he had been confused about the date.

District Judge Naomi Redhouse adjourned the case until February 26 to consider a probation report.

She told Tayeh she needs to know more about his attitude towards women before sentencing.
