A stalker accused of turning up at his estranged wife's home every day since they separated has been jailed.
Rytis Lisauskas would hang around at the address in Peterborough for hours at a time, followed her to a bus stop and threw stones at her window, Cambridgeshire Police said.
The 32-year-old, from Huntingdon but of no fixed abode, was convicted of controlling and coercive behaviour, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and criminal damage.
He was sentenced to three years and two months at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday.
Officers said he had been turning up at her home since their 10-year relationship ended in July.
He was arrested after smashing a window there in September.
After being detained it emerged he had carried out a "string of violent attacks", police said, including where he punched her in the head.
Despite being released on bail prohibiting him from going to the address, he tampered with CCTV cameras at the property, police said.
Officers said he smashed his way inside while the victim barricaded herself in a bedroom with her children while he stole items he claimed belonged to him.
Det Con Emily Richardson said: 鈥淭he victim and her family have gone through a traumatic experience because of Lisauskas鈥檚 appalling and selfish behaviour."
She encouraged anyone who feared they might be being stalked or harassed to contact the force.
