'Foul-mouthed, abusive and aggressive': Woman smashed bottle of wine over boyfriend's head in toilets at Leeds railway station

Kayleigh Wallace struck her partner with a full bottle of Echo Falls white wine before shouting foul-mouthed threats and abuse at station staff

Leeds Crown Court heard three travel safety officers were made aware of an "altercation" in the men's toilets at 11.55pm on November 5 last year.

They found 32-year-old Wallace holding a bottle of wine shouting insults at a man before hitting him over the head with it.

Charles Blatchford, prosecuting, said the defendant then struck the man again with the bottle, causing it to smash.

The broken bottle was taken from her by the officer but she continued to struggle as she was restrained.

She shouted at one of them: "Just watch, you bald b******! You are dead."

Police were called and Wallace was arrested.

The man was taken to hospital with a head wound which was glued back together.

Wallace was locked up for the night and interviewed the next day about the incident.

She made full admissions about what she had done.

Wallace, of Harley Walk, Swinnow, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

She has previous convictions for public order offences.

Mr Blatchford said Wallace and the man were no longer in a relationship and he did not support the prosecution.

Wallace told a probation officer that she carried out the offence after drinking alcohol for nine hours.

The defendant said the attack happened after the man had pushed her earlier in the day and she wanted to confront him.

Stuart Field, mitigating, said Wallace and the man had previously broken up and had decided to see each other again.

They had met each other on the day of the incident to go drinking in Leeds.

Mr Field said the man pushed Wallace hard during an argument over a mobile phone earlier in the afternoon.

He said Wallace decided to follow him to the station to confront him before he caught his train home to Burnley.

Mr Field said: "Discretion was not the better part of valour.

"She bitterly regrets what she did."

Wallace was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for 24 months.

She was also made the subject of a four-month curfew between the hours of 7pm and 7am.

Judge Simon Phillips, QC, said: "You were foul-mouthed, abusive and aggressive."
