A final-year medical student who pleaded guilty to a domestic violence assault has been suspended by his university following an outcry from two hundred doctors, an MP, and his fellow students. 

The attack occurred during the medical student ball. 

A Queensland police prosecutor told Townsville Magistrates Court that a James Cook University (JCU) student first pinched his partner, also a medical student, before punching her in the face a number of times. 

As she cried, the student took the woman’s phone and took a selfie, according to media reports of the case.
