Lee Ramsay pleaded guilty at Jedburgh Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and struggling with the woman to her injury at a house in Silverbuthall Road in Hawick on March 11.
Sheriff Peter Paterson told the 33-year-old, of Ramsay Road in Hawick, that it was only by the “thinnest of margins” that he was not being sent to prison and was being given a community payback order as an alternative to custody.
A two year non-harassment order was also imposed.
