A thug has been jailed after he attacked a woman, including dragging her by her hair, in Northampton.

Daniel Tweed appeared at Northampton Crown Court on June 11 after pleading guilty to assault, attempted criminal damage, and failing to surrender to police/court bail at the appointed time.

The 46-year-old launched a vicious attack against a woman in Northampton in March last year.

Police say Tweed punched her multiple times, dragged her by the hair, kicked her and stamped on her. The woman was taken to hospital.
