Inverness scaffolder Reece Taylor was ordered to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work after admitting assaulting his partner.
Taylor, 20, of Bruce Gardens, had earlier admitted the offence and had his sentence deferred for a background report.
He had pleaded guilty at Inverness Sheriff Court to pushing Nicola Cambell on October 21 last year in their Dunabban Road home, causing her to strike her head on a cooker.
He was also placed under two years of social work supervision.
