A woman who plunged a wine glass into her boyfriend's face during a row in a village pub has walked free from court after insisting she acted in a 'moment of madness'. Denise Bintcliffe, 57, smashed the glass of red wine over her partner's forehead after he slapped her when they began arguing in front of fellow regulars during a soul and funk evening.
Police arrived at the Crown and Conspirator pub in Bramhall, Stockport, to find Bintcliffe looking on as her boyfriend held his head in his hands, while bar staff applied napkins to stem the bleeding.
Asked why she carried out the attack, Bintcliffe who had been dating the man for 17 years said: "I don’t know why I hit him. I just can't believe that I've done it."
