A Melbourne man has been accused of viciously assaulting a pregnant woman, grabbing her by the neck and slamming her tummy into a table, a court has heard.
Paul Breen, 48, faced Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday charged with several assaults, strangulation and making a threat to kill.
It is unclear at this stage how many complainants are involved in the case.
According to court documents, Mr Breen allegedly grabbed a woman’s neck and slammed her head into a wall, and picked up a woman, slammed her onto a dining table and head butted her “several times”.
In another instance, Mr Breen allegedly grabbed a woman by the back of the neck, twisting her arm behind her back before “pushing her pregnant tummy into the counter, then dragging her into the bedroom and throwing her on the bed”.
He is also charged with choking a woman, allegedly placing both hands around her neck and “strangling her to the point she was going to pass out, pushing hard on her windpipe”.
Mr Breen did not enter a plea and will return to court in December.
