Martins Bukovskis, 26, attacked the woman following a party at his home address in Gladstone Street, Peterborough, on January 27.

The court heard how Bukovskis repeatedly punched the victim and dragged her around “like she was a toy” after he had consumed alcohol and smoked cannabis. The woman, who is in her 20s, received a broken rib, internal bleeding, a fractured eye socket and wrist as a result of the unprovoked attack.

PC Amy Davison said: “This was a cowardly unprovoked attack on a victim who could not defend herself.

“Combatting domestic abuse is a priority in the county. As well as the physical injuries, the victim was left incredibly traumatised by the attack. I hope the sentence handed out provides her with some closure.”
