Brother and sister attacked woman with broken wine bottle in Leeds street

A Leeds brother and sister attacked a woman with a broken wine bottle as she walked through a street.

Deborah Thompson, 32, and her brother Stephen Thompson, 43, were among a group who set upon the woman as she walked through a pedestrian area on Rosebank Road, Leeds on June 17 this year. Leeds Crown Court heard on Monday how she was approached by the group who began shouting at her about drugs.

His Honour Judge Singh said that the woman recognised Stephen Thompson, of Vesper Place, and heard other names being shouted. He said the pair then began to attack her, with repeated attacks towards her head before she "pulled out a bladed implement" which then injured Deborah Thompson, of Brownhill Terrace in Harehills.
