A MAN has appeared in court accused of repeatedly punching his partner and putting his hands around her throat at a caravan park.
Mark Andrews, aged 43, is accused of breaking the woman's wrist and she also suffered a suspected fractured nose during two incidents on the same day.
Andrews pleaded not guilty to maliciously wounding his partner at a caravan park at Crapstone near Yelverton on Sunday December 20.
He also denied assaulting her causing actual bodily harm during a separate attack that day.
Andrews, of Station Road in Horrabridge near Tavistock, is finally charged with causing criminal damage to her caravan window. He did not enter any plea to that allegation.
Caroline Gates, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said Andrews repeatedly punched the woman to the face after she visited his caravan.
She said he pushed her from the caravan down some steps and she fractured her wrist.
Mrs Gates added Andrews then repeatedly punched her and put his hands around her throat in her own caravan.
The court heard that she also had a suspected broken nose.
Magistrates ruled that the case should be heard at Plymouth Crown Court.
Andrews was released on conditional bail to appear before a judge on January 25.
He must live with his brother in Tavistock, stay away from Crapstone and not contact the alleged victim.
