A drunk reveller used her high-heeled shoe to attack a nightclub doorman after she took exception to being kicked out.
New mum, Rachael Thornton, was on her first night out since the birth of her baby when she was told she had to leave Jalou, in Newcastle city centre, in the early hours of the morning because she was too intoxicated. A court heard that the 24-year-old didn't take the news well and lashed out at a doorman as he escorted her outside the premises.
Prosecutors said that the victim had to protect his head with his hand as Thornton tried to hit him with her high-heeled shoe, catching him at the base of his fingers. He felt immediate pain and saw blood coming from a cut to his hand before flagging down a police officer.
