Weston-super-Mare woman repeatedly punched man in street in unprovoked attack

A woman who attacked a man in Weston-super-Mare has been spared immediate jail. Bristol Crown Court heard Jade Griffiths, who suffers from mental health difficulties, punched the male several times in the face near Sass cafe and bar and he didn't hit back.

Griffiths, 35, of Millstone Close in Weston-super-Mare, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm in July 2021. She also admitted causing criminal damage in March last year and possessing crack cocaine in July last year, all in breach of a suspended jail term for assaulting emergency workers.

Judge Moira MacMillan handed her a 48-week prison term suspended for two years. She told Griffiths: "You have suffered trauma in the past and mental health challenges."
