A sex worker bit her lifelong friend's face after a row after a funeral. It happened after the friend stepped in to calm an argument between Tyler-Jo Walker and her brother at the siblings' mum's wake.
Walker, 24, also slapped the woman, knocking her glasses from her face, after she thought she was siding with her brother. A court has now heard that the woman then told her that her mum "would be disgusted". At that point Walker launched at her friend, grabbing her face, biting her cheek and headbutting her, reports TeessideLive. The incident lasted no more than 90 seconds, with the victim running back into the The Longlands Club, in Marton Road, Middlesbrough.
Lesley Burgess, prosecuting, said: "Ms Walker was having an argument with her brother. The victim intervenes to try to stop this and calm the matter down."
