A man who assaulted a woman was given a conditional discharge.

Jahrell Trott-Raynor, 35, admitted the offence when he appeared in Magistrates’ Court last month and was sentenced yesterday.

The court heard that Trott-Raynor pushed the woman as she tried to leave a residence in Paget on September 7.

The push caused the woman to scratch her leg against a sink.

Magistrate Craig Attridge sentenced Trott-Raynor, from Paget, to a one-year conditional discharge.

Conditions of Trott-Raynor’s discharge include probation, not committing another offence within that time and informing his probation officer of any change in address or employment.
