AN ORMISTON man assaulted his partner by pinning her against a wall and punching her.
Adam Rankin seized the woman by her body before punching her, causing her to fall to the ground to her injury.
Rankin, of Bramble Way, carried out the assault at an address in Newbridge, Edinburgh, on July 31 last year.
The 49-year-old admitted the offence at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month and was in the dock for sentencing last Friday.
Sheriff Daniel Kelly ordered Rankin to pay a total fine of £790 to mark the offence.
