An intoxicated woman punched a blameless shopper twice in the face after falsely accusing her of racially abusing her children on Facebook. She also pulled the woman's hair and stamped on her glasses.
Chloe Wilson, 28, attacked Kirstie Stokes as she walked out of a Cardiff shop on October 6, 2020, in Clifton Street, Adamsdown. She said she thought she recognised the woman as someone who had made disparaging comments about her children on social media.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday heard Ms Stokes was surprised and denied making the comments but Wilson punched her to the face and gripped her hair. While this was happening another person tried to grab the victim's bag and her purse was taken.
