The couple's baby was standing up in the backseat at the time.
David Jenkins, 38, who has lived in Leeds, refused to hand over his baby daughter to his wife and then accelerated away with his car door still open and the tot inside, Teesside Live reports. The car hit Jenkins' wife twice when he reversed his vehicle into her and then sped off.
"He cut the wires to the CCTV at the front of the house and became jealous when she used a personal trainer at the gym, until she stopped. He accused her of cheating." Police raced to the scene and stopped Jenkins' car by forcing it into a lamppost. Mr Hedworth said that the baby was still crying. Jenkins was arrested and told police that he thought the non-molestation order was no longer in place and that the couple had reunited. He complained that "the police had driven into him and forced him to crash."
"I hope I never see that look on my daughter's face again - it was pure fear." The victim added she is frightened about the future, because she is tied to Jenkins through their daughter. Martin Scarborough, mitigating, said that Jenkins was back in a relationship with his wife at the time of the offending; and that he had "blamed himself" for the death of the couple's two-year-old son, seven years ago. "He shouldn't - it was a tragic accident. The boy choked to death," the barrister added.
Jenkins sobbed and interrupted as Judge Antony Dunne told him: " our behaviour has caused your victim harm - you made her feel scared. She was frightened by your behaviour to your daughter.
