A father will spend at least seven months behind bars after he was caught flinging his young daughter along the floor into a Sunshine Coast shopping centre security bollard.

In CCTV vision from a Big W store in the Nambour Plaza shopping centre on June 27, the man - who cannot be named - can be seen dragging the four-year-old girl along the ground.

He then flings her into the bollard and bends over to yell into the young girl’s face.

The assault was witnessed by a security guard at the store who followed the father and later alerted police.

Police also alleged that witnesses saw the child screaming and crying before the man picked her up by the hood of her jumper and left the shopping centre.

He was arrested at his Sunshine Coast home and denied bail and has been in jail since the incident.

Darryl Johnson from the Queensland Police condemned the act of domestic violence.

"I think for too long a lot of people put their head in the sand to domestic violence," he said.

"We can do something as a community."

The man appeared at Maroochydore Magistrates Court yesterday over the violent assault and pleaded guilty to the aggravated breach of a domestic violence order and the breach of probation.

Magistrate Maxine Baldwin sentenced the man to a maximum 21 months in jail, connected to the assault of his daughter and also a previously suspended common assault charge.

He will be eligible for a parole release on January 26, next year.
