Trike Strike: Mum Hit By Kid's Three-Wheeler

Wimbledon Magistrates' Court

A dad threw a tricycle at his ex during a domestic row as she held one of their three children in her arms, a court heard yesterday.

Tyrone Black, 41, was ordered out of the address as he started fixing himself a sandwich and the couple began arguing.

Wimbledon Magistrates Court heard Black, of Bishops Grove, Hampton, previously breached a non-molestation order relating to his former partner Emma Huth.

He pleaded guilty to assaulting her at her home in Air Sea Mews, Twickenham on April 18 and bailed to return for a pre-sentence report on January 21, next year.

The court heard Ms Huth began recording him on her phone when he refused to leave and he asked her to stop.

They continued arguing back and forth by the front door and Black picked up a kid's tricycle and threw it at Ms Huth, who received a glancing blow to her arm from the handlebars.

Black left and his ex called the police several hours later.

She did not suffer any injury.

When questioned by police Black admitted throwing the trike, accepting it may have made minor contact with Ms Huth's arm.
