Brazil (40), of Clydesdale Biggs Road in Wisbech, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and assault by beating when he was due to face trial earlier this year.
The court heard Brazil has more than 50 previous convictions.
Detective Constable Amanda Pickering said: “Brazil is an extremely violent individual who despite having a number of convictions has not changed his ways.

“I hope that over the next few years during his time in prison it will give him chance to reflect on his actions.”
