A drunken man who attacked his partner, and struck her with a wine glass in front of her child, was jailed for two years.
Jake Stephens admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm upon the victim, who suffered a cut arm needing six stitches.
Leicester Crown Court was told that Stephens, 26, had earlier argued with the victim at a farm park and later in a public house.
When they got to her home in Kings Road, Oakham, the row blew up again.
Ben Gow, prosecuting, said: "He left the house, but then returned and became violent and threatening towards her in front of her three-year-old daughter, from a previous relationship.
Stephens, of Field Avenue, Canterbury, and formerly of William Dalby Walk, Oakham, began punching her limbs and threw furniture and ornaments around the room, on August 9.
Mr Gow said: "He threw a phone charger at her and smashed up his own mobile phone.
"She tried to calm things by going to bed but he followed her and pinned her down on the bed with his hands around her throat.
"He started strangling her and then punched her head and face, whilst screaming he was going to kill her.
"She was concerned by his threats.
"He hit her on the head with a wine glass that had been on a bedside table."
The stem and base broke and somehow her left arm was cut.
Mr Gow said: "She felt blood running down her arm.
"Her daughter started crying and the complainant begged the defendant to get off her and leave.
"He rang for an ambulance but told her 'Don't grass me up.' "
The victim, 28, was taken to hospital having suffered a one-inch cut to her arm, which has left "a significant scar."
Mr Gow said: "She's considerably sensitive about the scar and has been considering plastic surgery."
Mr Gow added: "She's struggling emotionally to come to terms with what happened in front of her daughter."
Sentencing, Recorder Jason MacAdam said: "This was a prolonged attack."
He said there had been previous difficulties between the couple, which caused the police to attend, although it did not result in action being taken.
The recorder said: "The victim was a vulnerable female in her home and there was a child present.
"You recognise the link between your offending and drinking."
He imposed a five year restraining order banning the defendant from contacting the complainant.
James Varley, mitigating, said Stephens has been addressing his drinking issues whilst on remand in custody.
He said: "On the spur of the moment he picked the wine glass up and didn't deliberately cut her arm."
He described the defendant as a hard-working man who was a "devoted father" to his two children from a previous relationship.
Mr Varley said: "He threw a tantrum on that day and even smashed up his own telephone.
"He understands that his volatile temper and drink don't mix."
