A man smacked his partner’s head off a wall then a ceramic sink, causing her to fall to the floor.
Troy McRae, 28, carried out the attack on his then partner Sarah Marshall in her own home on Seacraig Court, Newport.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard the assault took place on May 29 last year following an argument between the pair at The Brig o’ Tay pub, Newport.
Fiscal depute Sue Ruta told the court the pair began a relationship four weeks prior to the offence.
Ms Marshall later told a paramedic she was unconscious as she fell but the court heard he could not find any medical evidence to support that.
She suffered a swollen right eye, two lumps on her head and bruising on her arms.
McRae, of Whitfield Gardens, admitted two charges of assault, one to injury and two charges of threatening behaviour.
He also admitted a charge of breach of bail conditions by being found in Ms Marshall’s home on October 27.
George Donnelly, defending, said: “This few moments of madness in this house is something he has never exhibited before or since.”
Sheriff Alastair Brown deferred sentencing until September 12.
