A BORDERS man who admitted a domestic-related assault will be sentenced next month at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.

Tommy Redpath, 33, of Hawick, pleaded guilty to the offence which happened at a house in the town’s Drumlanrig Place on June 12.

He admitted pushing a woman against a door, seizing her by the hair and pulling it and closing a door on her hand and applying pressure on it.

Sentence was deferred until November 23 for the production of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report.
