His partner took enormous risks to escape the blows.

A 41-year-old Villeurbanne was sentenced Tuesday before the Lyon Criminal Court to 30 months in prison, half of which was closed, for having violated his partner on Saturday.

An aggression such that the victim did not hesitate to put himself in danger in order to try to escape him.

This November 7 in the morning, an argument broke out within the couple.

The man is in need, according to the victim's words, after a cocaine vodka evening the day before.

Very quickly, the blows rain on the woman.

Kicks in the face.

In a panic, she decides to take refuge on their balcony located on the 16th floor of a building in Villeurbanne and straddles the railing, above the void, to reach the neighbors' terrace, reports

Le Progrès.

The defendant recognizes an argument

Paralyzed when help arrived, the victim also presented a large gash on the forehead after being injured with pruning shears by his companion.

The defendant then fled to escape the police.

He does not hesitate to jump off a wall and falls six meters lower.

At the hospital, where he was admitted, he also tried to dress up.

In vain.

At the helm on Tuesday, the Villeurbanne admitted having quarreled with his partner but denied the injuries inflicted with the secateurs.

He was taken into custody following the immediate appearance hearing.
