A man has been jailed after attacking three 16-year-old girls in Leominster after they rejected his advances.
Kamil Witkowski, 24, admitted two counts of common assault and one count of actual bodily harm when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court.
Stuart Clarkson, prosecuting, said Witkowski and another man approached the girls at a bus stop. They asked if the girls would be going to a nearby club but the girls said they wouldn’t, as they were only 16.
He said that initially relationships seemed cordial with one of the men break-dancing to music played on a mobile phone, but then the girls became uncomfortable with the men’s interest.
“They started to feel uncomfortable and started to walk into town and they were explaining they were going,” said Mr Clarkson.
“The defendant’s demeanour then changed.”
He said Witkowski tried kissing one girl. “She told him she was not interested and to go away. He pushed her and and she pushed him back saying ‘I’m only 16. Go away’.”
When they got to the Somerfield car park he punched her with a clenched fist that struck the back of her head.
When one of the other girls intervened she was set upon. Mr Clarkson said as she attempted to get in between the pair, Witkowski put her in a head lock, forced her to the floor and then stamped on her head.
“She went into a ball and does not remember much else,” he added. She reported to police of having tenderness and an egg-size lump to the head.
Witkowski the punched the third girl in the cheek, causing a swollen face.
Tim Sapwell, defending, said his client, of Brook Farm, Marden, had drunk a lot but this could not excuse the offences.
He said Witkowski felt great remorse for what he had done and that prison appeared the only option.
Judge Patrick Thomas sentenced Witkowski to nine months in prison.
