“Grow up,” a judge told Haylie Strickland.

The 33-year-old set upon the woman as she waited for a taxi outside the Weavers Arms in Swinton, Salford, in July last year. She then hit her across the face with a beer bottle.

The woman was left with a permanent facial scar, which she covers with make-up, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Strickland admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and was handed a suspended sentence.

Prosecuting, Aubrey Samson earlier told the court the two women knew each other as their children went to the same school.

There had been issues in the past, which led to Strickland going to the woman’s home and making threats last year. The nature of the row was not disclosed in court.
