Man jailed for 32 months after 'savage' attacks

A man has been jailed for 32 months after "savage" attacks on two women, including strangling one of them until she could not breathe and biting a man’s ear.

Fabio Marzano assaulted the first woman at her home in the Eastfield area of Peterborough on 7 February last year.

They argued inside the property before the 27-year-old punched the woman in the face and began strangling her. He then attacked concerned neighbours who had heard the commotion.

Marzano, of Sallowbush Road, Huntingdon, admitted intentional strangulation, three counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, and two of assault by beating of an emergency worker. He was jailed at Peterborough Crown Court on Monday.

Cambridgeshire Police said Marzano had also launched an attack on a man, whom he headbutted several times and dragged to the floor. He then jumped on top of him, biting his ear.

When police arrived, Marzano became aggressive and kicked one of the officers, the court heard.

He was arrested and taken to Thorpe Wood Police Station, where he kicked another officer.

On 6 March this year, while on court bail, Marzano visited another woman’s property in Westwood, Peterborough.

After being asked to leave, Marzano refused and attacked the woman.

He repeatedly headbutted her, which caused her to fall to the ground.

The victim suffered a large swelling to her eye socket, a cut to her chin and the back of her head, and had significant bruising.

DC Igor Simonov said: “Marzano is a persistently violent individual who clearly thinks nothing of launching savage attacks on innocent people. Our streets are safer with him behind bars.”
