Jordan Anthony Fing terrorised partner for 12 months – knocking her to ground, punching her

A former ice addict pushed his partner to the ground twice as part of a brutal attack in the middle of a suburban street. It was the first act in 12 months of terror.

A GOLD Coast man pushed his partner to the ground twice as part of a brutal attack in the middle of a suburban street.

Over the next 12 months Jordan Anthony Fing would chase her down a street and hit her in the face at the Varsity Lakes train station and grabbed her bag and wallet.

Fing pleaded guilty in the Southport District Court on Tuesday to 54 charges including deprivation of liberty, assault occasioning bodily harm, fraud and 22 counts of breaching bail.

During his crime spree between August 24, 2019 to September 30, 2020 Fing also got into a cab at Springfield train station, punched the driver and demanded he take him to Beenleigh train station.

The taxi driver was knocked unconscious briefly. Fing was seen on CCTV holding a knife during the attack.

Judge Geraldine Dann sentenced Fing to six years’ prison with parole eligibility in April next year.

Fing, 29, has been in custody since October last year.

“Domestic violence is unfortunately very prevalent in our community,” she said.

“It is deplorable.”

She described Fing’s offending as “violent and persistent over some months”.

Crown prosecutor Michael Connelly said about Fing: “He clearly represents a danger to women in the community, in particular female partners.”

The court was told that during the first attack in August 2019, Fing’s partner was walking down the street to a friend’s place when Fing came up behind her and the pair argued.

He threw her to the ground.

When she got up and started walking again, Fing put his hands in her pockets causing the woman to fall to the ground.

Defence barrister Nick McGhee, instructed by 888 Law, said Fing had suffered an addiction to ice at the time of his offending.

He said being in prison and off drugs had allowed Fing to gain some insight.

“He knows now he may have been aggressive when at the time he didn’t realise,” he said.

Mr McGhee said during his time in custody Fing had been working on improving his literacy and had taken up Catholicism.
