A 33-year-old man found guilty of one assault on his partner has been told by Ipswich Magistrates he will be sentenced to a community penalty.
He had also already admitted another assault when he threw some keys over his shoulder and they hit her.
The details of his community sentence will be given to him at Bury St Edmunds magistrates later this month and he was free to walk from court, while the woman told magistrates she had no objections to him visiting her house in Ipswich.

Magistrates in Ipswich have returned their verdicts on a domestic assault trial case.
A 33-year-old man has been found guilty of one assault when he "brushed" past his partner to try and reach his children to take them with him as he left their house.
He has been found not guilty of another assault on her and of assaulting her son who got a finger trapped in the kitchen door after it was "flicked" shut by the defendant.
The bench has retired again to consider its sentence.

A woman rescued from a second floor flat in last night's devastating fire in Sudbury has spoken of the moments before a surge of flames burst out of the building.
"I could see that it was getting bad, then I was thinking... anything could happen, it might even collapse and I'd go down into the fire because I could feel the heat coming up through the floor as well," said Christina Deke.
