A MAN who attacked his ex-girlfriend's neighbours who tried to stop him assaulting her has admitted further offences.

Jordan Forster pleaded guilty to having a knife in public in Beech Drive in Ulverston and using threatening behaviour likely to make someone believe unlawful violence would be used against them.

The offences happened on June 15 in Beech Drive in Ulverston.

Just weeks later, on September 29, a 999 call was made in the early hours by Gary Donning who witnessed Forster assault his girlfriend Alina Elliot in Stanley Street.

Forster saw Mr Donning on the phone and began to verbally abuse him and Mr Donning's partner Evie Lawrence.

Forster pushed Mr Donning in the chest and slapped him in the face. He also assaulted Miss Lawrence.

Forster also bit another resident, Natalie Fowler, between her left shoulder and collarbone.

Police officers arrived on the scene at around 5.45pm and arrested 23-year-old Forster.

Forster, of Haughton Road in Darlington, appeared at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court in October where he pleaded guilty to three counts of assault and causing criminal damage to the police cell.

An offence relating to an assault on Miss Elliot was withdrawn because the victim did not support the prosecution and in light of his other guilty pleas.

At Preston Crown Court yesterday Forster was given a 12-month community order requiring him to complete rehabilitation activity days with the Probation Service.
