Greater Sudbury Police are trying to track down a man who they allege savagely beat a woman on Jan. 8, threatening her and causing her to fear for her own life and that of her child.
That day, police say Jason Rebellato, 29, repeatedly assaulted the victim. First attacking her in one room, then dragging her by the hair to another room and beating her and choking her some more.
