A Grangetown woman has avoided prison after she violently punched and attacked another woman after their boyfriends fell out.
The attack happened in South Shields in November 2022. She punched her victim so hard her glasses fell off and she was knocked down.
She then jumped on top of her and the police had to separate them.
Abigail George, 38, of Westheath Avenue, Sunderland, admitted assault.
Penny Hall, defending, said George has been the victim of violence herself and is “sorry for her actions” that day.
George denies spitting at the victim during the violence.
The court heard since the attack, almost two years ago, George has served a prison sentence for burglary and taking drugs into prison.
Judge Carolyn Scott sentenced her to a community order for 18 months with 180 hours unpaid work, a two month curfew and a five-year restraining order.
