Man butted ex-partners and licked wounds
A Goole man who assaulted two of his former partners has been branded "a danger to society" by a judge.
Danny Morgan, 51, of Wetherill Street, Goole, has been jailed for three years after being convicted of an assault on his former partner Lynda Mallinson.

He had previously admitted another assault, which was an exact mirror of that attack, on another ex-girlfriend, June Bottomley.
Hull Crown Court heard Morgan had started pushing Ms Mallinson during an argument on February 17 last year.
He then headbutted her, causing a wound above her eye which began bleeding profusely.
After sitting her down on the bed, Morgan then started to lick the blood from her face before threatening to kill himself.
He pretended to cut himself with a knife before getting some pills to apparently take an overdose.
Police arrived and arrested him before he was able to take the pills.
The court heard Ms Mallinson required 14 stitches to closed the wound above her eye.
Morgan was interviewed by police and then released on bail pending further enquiries.
Prosecutor Nigel Clive told the court that, by July last year, Morgan was with a new partner, June Bottomley.
On July 13 the pair were arguing about their relationship and Morgan headbutted her in the face, causing a gash.
Again he began licking the blood from her face, before hitting himself with a stick and trying to take an overdose.
Morgan admitted the offence against Ms Bottomley and had originally pleaded guilty to the attack on Ms Mallinson but later chose to withdraw his plea and stand trial.
However, he was convicted by a jury of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Judge Roger Thorn QC said: "My view is you present a high degree of danger to others, especially if they are in a relationship with you."
Judge Thorn ordered Morgan spend 18 months in jail for each offence, followed by an extended two-year licence period upon his release.

“I would suggest to the above posts that before you pass judgement on other places you out your own back yard in order. I would also say that when you live in a greenhouse you dont throw stones. Yes I live in Goole, yes there are nasty people here as there are everywhere else. I stick up for this town as I have always done, in the two years when I have represented Goole as Mayor.”
