Despite being the subject of a restraining order Anthony Gallagher, 44, met the Telford woman at Wolverhampton Railway Station on September 6 this year.

After a short journey during which he got aggressive after realising the relationship was not going to be rekindled, she dropped him back to the station. Within seconds of being outside the car he tried to attack her. 

She tried to wind the window up but before she could he began trying to rip it out. He pulled on the driver side window with such force it shattered, covering the woman with shards of glass.
