A woman who had downed 10 pints of beer recklessly threw a glass bottle in the middle of a pub dance floor, leaving an innocent mother with "grave" facial injuries. Thea Haywood, 29, had spotted her boyfriend headbutting another man during violent scenes and in a "moment of utter madness" she hurled a beer bottle at the person her boyfriend was fighting.
However, the bottle missed her target and instead hit a well-meaning mum-of-four, who was trying to break up the fight, Hull Live reports. The victim was left with injuries so severe that she needed a metal plate inserted in her face.
Hull Crown Court heard that Haywood confessed to wounding the victim on April 9 last year after she involved herself in the confrontation out of "misguided loyalty" to her boyfriend. David Godfrey, prosecuting said there was an argument between two groups of men on the dance floor of The Star Pub in Hull City Centre at 2am.
