Paranoid Niall Harte accused his girlfriend of cheating on him, demanded to know who the supposed man was and threatened to “beat it out of her”.

The 24-year-old was already on a suspended sentence and was jailed this week after admitting offences of harassment with fear of violence and criminal damage.

Leeds Crown Court heard they were in a relationship for two years and had a child together.

In March of this year he became aggressive when the woman had taken the child to hospital and he smashed her large-screen TV.
