A man was thrown through the air when a woman deliberately rode her quadbike into his bike before delivering a volley of punches.
Megan Douglas then grabbed the battery off the bike and smashed it across the head of her victim before police were called.
Teesside Crown Court heard the 29-year-old was a ‘feisty’ character but had no history of violence on her criminal record.
Cainan Lonsdale, prosecuting, said the victim suffered a number of injuries and required medical treatment.
He said: “The victim was riding his bike when he heard a quadbike behind him and the defendant drove it directly into the back of the bike and struck the rear wheel.
“He was thrown up in the air and landed on the front of the quadbike. The defendant was shouting ‘don’t you ever call my sister a killer’ before punching him several times.”
Mr Lonsdale said the victim did not retaliate in any way before Douglas struck him to the head with the bike battery.
Douglas, of Cresswell Road, Grangetown, near Redcar, pleaded guilty to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent on July 10 last year.
John Nixon, mitigating, said his client had several run-ins with the victim previously and had pleaded guilty to the offence before a trial was listed.
He said: “To say she is feisty is an understatement but she has no relevant previous convictions.

“She brought this incident to an end herself.”
Judge Advocate Tom Mitchell said the victim was fortunate to have only suffered relatively minor injuries as a result.
He said: “You deliberately ran him down when he was on a bike before repeatedly punching him.”
Douglas was sentenced to three years in custody.
