A violent ex, who slapped the mother of his ten year-old son while the boy was in the flat, will learn his fate on November 14 after magistrates bailed him for probation reports.
Roger Robinson, 31, of Tortington House, Friary Estate, Peckham pleaded guilty to assaulting Tizita Getachew at her home in Fermoy Road, Maida Vale (pictured) on September 27.
Prosecutor Miss Rav Chodha told City of Westminster Magistrates' Court Robinson had just collected the boy from his school, but refused to leave his ex-girlfriend's flat after dropping him off.
The row escalated and was so loud a neighbour started shouting through the front door they would call the police and the victim also tried to call 999 on her mobile.
"With his open palm he struck Miss Getachew on the cheek and she later described it as feeling as if her face was burning and was in great pain," explained Miss Chodha.
Robinson, who was shouting and swearing throughout the attack, eventually fled after learning the police were coming and his ex noticed two of her mobile phones were missing.
The couple had only stayed together for a month after the birth of their son.
The defendant admits he lost his temper, claiming he was struck on the back first.
