A drinker who smashed a glass into the face of a woman trying to calm her down has been ordered to pay the victim compensation.
Chloe Nicholson became agitated and angry while she was drinking in the Marquis of Granby in Pity Me when the violence erupted.
The 27-year-old attacked the woman outside the County Durham pub at 11.15pm in May this year, Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court heard.
Adam Scott, prosecuting, said the victim took Nicholson outside in an attempt to calm her down, but it had the opposite reaction.
He said: “The defendant has grabbed her collar and hit her with a glass to the side of the face.
“The woman suffered a 1cm cut to her face and went to hospital however, she left before she was treated.”
Nicholson, of The Crescent, Nettlesworth, Chester-le-Street, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm on May 2 this year.
Mohammed Aftab, mitigating, said: “She has accepted full responsibility for the offence.

“Her state of mind has lacked clarity of thought, she has attacked impulsively, not realising she still had the glass in her hand.”
Dr Victor Dowd, the chairman of the bench, said: “This was a serious offence, you attacked somebody with a glass which could have been a lot worse for you and was damaging for the victim.”
Nicholson was made subject of an 18-month community order with 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
She was also ordered to pay £100 in compensation to the victim.
