Dad attacked his partner and held a knife to her chest in front of children

Vasek Wielgosv subjected his partner to the assault at their family home in Wakefield on January 21 this year.

Leeds Crown Court heard the 32-year-old defendant and the victim had been together for six years but the relationship had deteriorated at the time of the incident.

Joe Culley, prosecuting, said Wielgosv began shouting and swearing at the woman after she opened a box of teabags "the wrong way".

The victim told Wielgosv that she had had enough and was going to leave him.

The argument continued in front of their two children.

Wielgosv then grabbed the woman and twisted her arm, telling her to "shut up."

The victim went to another part of the house but Wielgosv followed.
