A YOUNG Winchester man has been fined after attacking a woman.

Peter William Cox, 23, of Acorn Close, Weeke, admitted the assault that happened on November 30 last year.

Magistrates in Basingstoke fined Cox £350 with a £35 victim surcharge and ordered he pay costs of £150.

Cox also admitted criminal damage to a garden table and making threats against the same victim, on the same day.

There were no separate penalties for those two offences.

There was no order for compensation because of “all the circumstances”, the magistrates court heard.
