Drug-addled woman tried to attack another with broken bottle in Wakefield city centre
She was tackled by a police officer before reaching intended victim
A teenager who was determined to slash another with a broken bottle on a night out has avoided custody.
Millie Green was high on drink and drugs when she was tackled by a police officer in Wakefield city centre who had noticed she was armed.
Green, 19, admitted attempted GBH, assault of an emergency worker and possession of an offensive weapon.
Leeds Crown Court was told that Green became embroiled in a dispute with a woman outside a takeaway on Wakefield’s Westgate in the early hours of August 17 last year.
Green was intoxicated and argumentative, so was ordered to leave the area. She got into a car that was driven away, but she returned to the city centre a few minutes later.
She was seen to have a bottle in her hand, crouch down and smash it.
She then took the jagged neck and started back towards the intended victim.
A member of the public had noticed her and tried to intervene but was barged out of the way.
Luckily a police officer had spotted Green and was able to tackle her, although the officer was left injured. Green was arrested but continued to struggle.
The incident was caught on CCTV.
She appeared drunk and had white powder around her nose. She later told officers that she had intended to harm the other female, but not police.
Green, of Esther Avenue, Wakefield has no previous convictions.
Mitigating, Sarah Myatt said Green recognised the seriousness of the incident.
She said: “The female on the footage is very different to the person in the dock.”
She said that Green was regularly drinking and taking ketamine, but since that night had ceased taking drugs, having contacted the counselling service, Turning Point, for help.
Ms Myatt said: “The shame and remorse completely had her from the outset.
“She has faced up to what she did and pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.”
Judge Howard Crowson gave her a two-year sentence, suspended for two years, 25 days of rehabilitation with probation, a 120 alcohol-abstinence requirement, a mental-health treatment requirement and ordered her to pay £200 compensation to the police officer.
