A MAN who broke his victim’s jaw in a violent Herefordshire attack has been jailed for 15 weeks.
Emanuel Cimpoeru, 44, of Lion Court, Leominster, attacked his victim in the town, said prosecutor Lauren Millichip.
Cimpoeru admitted grievous bodily harm at Hereford Magistrates’ Court and was sentenced on April 9.
During the incident on July 16, 2022, Cimpoeru lashed out and left his victim, a woman, with a broken jaw.
He was said to have “unlawfully and maliciously wounded” her without intent.

Cimpoeru will serve his sentence before a 12 month supervision period. He must then complete 15 days of rehabilitation activity and 120 hours of unpaid work, as well as paying £500 in compensation to his victim.
He has also been ordered to pay court costs of £185 and a victim surcharge of £154.
Magistrates took his guilty plea into account when deciding on the penalty but said that the offence was so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified.
