A woman landed in court for hurling chips and curry sauce at a group of men. Millie Holliday had picked up a takeaway but the men knocked the food from her hands and she flew into a rage.
The 24-year-old committed the "relatively minor" drunk and disorderly behaviour offence on April 2 while she was on a night out in Cardiff city centre, her solicitor Tom Trobe told Cardiff Magistrates' Court. She had just bought chips and curry sauce from a business in Caroline Street – known to some as Chippy Lane or Chippy Alley.
"A number of loitering males thought it would be amusing to knock the food from her hands and use unpleasant insults," said Mr Trobe. "She made the decision to pick it off the floor and throw it at them. She threw a chair also."
