An "out of control" resident bit a woman and hit her with a kettle and TV during a violent attack in her own bedroom.
Mary Akurut and the victim were living in the same Newcastle hostel, in Byker, when the former burst into the latter's accommodation and began assaulting her. A court heard that Akurut bit, punched and kicked the female before striking her with a TV and kettle.
Other concerned residents tried to intervene but the 34-year-old picked up items and made threats before going on to assault some of them also, prosecutors said. The violent incident, at Cedar House, was finally brought to an end when Akurut was arrested.
