It was revealed the pair had been discussing ending their relationship and Scott had asked the woman to hand over her phone.

After this was refused, a struggle ensued and the woman called 999.

Scott began shouting and swearing before picking up a child’s scooter and throwing it against a kitchen unit causing plates and glasses to fall on the floor and smash.

Police arrived and found Scott hiding under a bed.
