A man who admits assaulting a mum in their bedroom has a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up in court.
Johsua Daffurn, 29, pushed his on-off-partner onto the bed as she called out for her daughter’s help.
He pleaded guilty to assault on April 25 at Swindon Magistrates' Court but has failed to appear at the same court for his sentencing on Monday, July 22.
The court heard at a hearing in January that on January 28 the couple had been out drinking.

Daffurn, of Towpath Road, Trowbridge, cannot remember what they argued about and accepts that he pushed her.
Defending, Ms Hillier said he accepts he has a drinking problem, and suffers from depression and anxiety.
She said: “He wants to focus on himself and get off the alcohol.”
Wiltshire Police have confirmed that Joshua Daffurn is wanted on warrant after failing to appear in court.
