A MAN left his ex-partner with a black eye and blurred vision after attacking her as her son sat on her knee, a court was told.
Burnley magistrates heard how Shaun Holt, 29, walked in through Nicola Coulson's front door, abused her and punched her as her child screamed and sobbed.
Holt, of Bright Street, Padiham, admitted assault by beating last November 4.
The bench imposed a nine month community order, with 40 hours unpaid work, £100 compensation and £75 costs.
