The victim sustained a lifelong injury

A man has been sent to prison after he assaulted a woman in Banbury.

Twenty-eight year old Grant Stephen, who’s from Balmoral Avenue, had been the passenger in a car that was travelling along Woodgreen Avenue on January 23, 2021.   The driver was a woman in her twenties.   Stephen forced her to stop the car.   He grabbed hold of her hair and headbutted her multiple times.

The victim sustained a broken nose.

Stephen pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Last Friday at Oxford Crown Court he was sentenced to one year and four months’ imprisonment.

Stephen was also made subject to a restraining order against the victim.

Investigating officer, PC Chris Gutteridge, based at Bicester police station, said: “This was a nasty and cowardly attack against the victim which left her with a lifelong injury.

“There is no place for domestic abuse. If you have been a victim of domestic violence then please do report it. If you are in immediate danger, please always call 999.

“Alternatively, you can report on our online domestic abuse reporting page or you can call 101.

“Our website also has information of other support available for victims.”
