A man broke his wife\u2019s jaw during an argument over their dog\u2019s dinner, forcing her to have emergency surgery.<\/p>\n

Patrick Coleman, 47, had an argument over the dog\u2019s dinner with his wife Jaqueline Coleman and attacked her until she was rescued by a neighbour.<\/p>\n

According to reports, he was spared jail after his wife told the judge it would hurt her family financially and cost her sons their home if he went to prison.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Crown Court heard he was being \u201caggressive\u201d in their living room in St Helens, Merseyside on October 10, 2020.<\/p>\n

Judge David Aubrey said the argument \u201cappears to have related to the family dog\u201d and how it was \u201ceither eating or not eating his or her meal\u201d when he \u201clost it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Coleman, the judge said; \u201cthe red mist descended\u201d and \u201cit was the first occasion that you had ever laid a finger on your wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The judge said if there had been \u201cany suggestion of prior domestic violence\u201d he would have been jailed.<\/p>\n

Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, said Coleman shoved his wife backwards, and then when she pushed him back, he punched her in the left side of her jaw.<\/p>\n

He grabbed her and threw her onto the stairs, before \u201cconstantly punching her to the face and the body\u201d.<\/p>\n

He then pushed her onto a sofa and put his hands around her neck, but \u201cthankfully\u201d a neighbour rushed inside and stopped the violence.<\/p>\n

Two days later Mrs Coleman went to the hospital and had her jaw moved back into the correct position, with a titanium plate and four screws inserted.<\/p>\n

Coleman told police \u201cit was my fault\u201d when arrested.<\/p>\n

He admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and was handed a 12-month suspended sentence.<\/p>\n

In a victim statement, Mrs Coleman said he had never previously been violent during their 26-year relationship.<\/p>\n

She said she was concerned about the future, had debts and a mortgage that she couldn\u2019t afford to pay on her own, if he was jailed and if she was not able to help with caring responsibilities she might also lose her job, she added.<\/p>\n

Mrs Coleman said: \u201cI worry this will feel like we\u2019ve been punished more than Patrick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Lander, defending, said Coleman had lost his home and \u201cthe love of his wife\u201d.<\/p>\n

Coleman wanted to \u201creunite\u201d with his family \u201cif they would want to be reunited with him\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

He said Coleman, who was living in a rented bedsit but also paying towards his mortgage, had mental health issues and was drinking before the attack.<\/p>\n

He is now free but stands the risk of facing imprisonment if he attacks his wife again.<\/p>\n\n
