AN EAST Coast man who attempted suicide in front of his ex-girlfriend's home - following a horror night in which he drove "donuts" outside her home for 10 hours - has been charged with the rarely-prosecuted offence of emotional abuse. The 28-year-old also urinated in his former partner's petrol tank, switched off her electricity, and smashed up her letter box during the same night in December 2019. The woman is now said to suffer panic attacks and anxiety after witnessing the man's suicide attempt at her front gate, which only came to an end when a neighbour intervened.
