A man has been jailed after he admitted strangling a woman in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Michael Day, 42, from Worcester, was sentenced to one-year-and-one month in prison at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday 29 October.

It comes after he pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation at an earlier hearing.

PC Daniel Smith, from the Newcastle-under-Lyme local policing team, said: "Day's actions were physically and emotionally damaging to the victim, who has shown great courage in coming forward.

"We are determined to support victims of domestic abuse and to bring perpetrators to justice."

Staffordshire Police explained that nothing was said on the call, but the contact handler could hear a disturbance in the background and sent officers to the address.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said: "Day was quickly arrested and questioned in custody.
