    A man has been jailed after assaulting a woman in Ripon while on bail.

    Steven James Brown, 35, appeared before York Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with assault causing actual bodily harm on February 7.

    Brown, of Skelldale Close in the city, pleaded guilty to assaulting the named victim on Lynden Close while on bail.

    The court jailed the 35-year-old for 35 weeks.

    Magistrates said the offence was aggravated by the defendant’s previous record and that it was committed while Brown was on bail.

    The court also ordered Brown to pay a victim surcharge of £187.
