Miss Randell said: "The defendant picked up the wine glass and pushed it into her face, causing it to smash resulting in three lacerations.

"He called the police and said he had assaulted his partner, causing her face to bleed quite badly.

"Police attended the address. When they approached the defendant he said 'I'm sorry, I did it,'"
