A mother and son have both been fined for common assault after a domestic row.

Kamil Roman Myszor was fined £1,000 while his mother, Grazyna Myszor, was fined £600 after they both pleaded guilty to the offences.

The High Bailiff heard that 33-year-old Kamil Myszor, who lives at Clifton Terrace, Douglas, had got into a row with his partner at their home on December 19.

He was said to have sworn at her then put her in a bearhug.

The woman left the property but Myszor then pushed her, causing her to fall and hit her head on a wheelie bin.

Later that same day, the woman was walking on Prince’s Avenue in Douglas, when Grazyna Myszor, her partner’s 65-year-old mother approached.

Ms Myszor, who lives at Bathurst Street in Douglas, was said to have grabbed the woman and slapped her face.

She took hold of the woman’s dressing gown, which the woman then took off in an effort to escape.

However, Myszor then grabbed the woman’s top and ripped it, before grabbing her by the hair and pulling her to the ground.

Police arrived and had to prise Myszor’s hand away from the woman’s hair.

She was later interviewed at police headquarters but claimed she could not remember any of it.

Myszor was shown police body cam footage of her holding the complainant’s hair but continued to say she had no recollection of it.

A probation report said that Kamil Myszor had moved to the island in 2015, from the UK, after originally coming from Poland.

He was said to work full time as a maintenance man and is a qualified plasterer.

The court heard that he has a previous conviction in 2016 for a drug-related offence.

He told probation that he had been extremely intoxicated when the incident occurred and had not caused his partner physical harm.

A probation report on Grazyna Myszor said that she had been drinking before she assaulted the woman but she claimed she was not intoxicated.

Advocate Stephen Wood, representing Kamil Myszor, said that his client had put his partner in a bearhug to restrain her and had then pushed her while they were outside, but had not meant her to fall.

’Mr Myszor was remorseful in the cells and wishes he could turn back the hands of time,’ said the advocate.

’His intention is to ask for forgiveness and move back into the family home, but he doesn’t want to rush her. He hopes to rekindle their relationship. There isn’t a history of domestic incidents.

’We would submit that a night in the cells and an appearance before the court has had a salutary impact.’

Grazyna Myszor was represented by Paul Glover who said: ’Ms Myszor knows she hasn’t made things easier for her son. She is embarrassed and remorseful, and regrets what happened.’

Mr Glover went on to ask for credit to be given for the fact that his client had no previous convictions at the age of 65.

High Bailiff Jayne Hughes ordered both defendants to pay £125 prosecution costs.

Kamil Myszor will pay his fine and costs at a rate of £100 per month while his mother will pay at a rate of £10 per week.
