A charity event ended in disaster when a woman attacked a couple before proceeding to glass a Good Samaritan.
People had gathered at a hotel and pub to raise money for a good cause when Tyne Lowden, 27, kicked off in a drunken rage.
A court heard how she approached a couple at The Queen's Head in Northumberland. There had been a previous brawl between a member of the man's family and Lowden's mum and he had received a series of threatening messages from Lowden as a result.
On the night of the event, on July 13, 2019, Lowden spat in Mr Mason's face and struck him twice to the head and also hit his partner, Miss Harding.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how she then threw glasses in the direction of the couple, Chronicle Live writes.
As a result of the violent outburst, Harding was left with a cut to her face and bruising to her arm, while Mason was not injured.
The couple were rushed through a fire exit by the hotel manager but Lowden continued to cause a disturbance at the event.
An off-duty member of staff tried to calm her down in the car park as she was being aggressive, swearing and arguing.
While trying to calm her down, the woman was struck to the face but it's unclear if this was by Lowden or her mother, the court heard.
At that point, a man sought to intervene to prevent further violence and when Lowden's mother shouted aggressively in his face, he pushed her and she fell into a parked car.
Ellen Wright, prosecuting, said: "At this point he felt a punch to the jaw, struck by the defendant.
"She then picked up a mixer glass and hit him on the nose with it. The glass didn't smash but it caused a cut to his face. He attended hospital as a result and thought he had a broken nose."
The victim was left with a black eye and a 2.5cm laceration on the left side of his nose. In a victim impact statement, he said the attack has had a long term impact on him.
He added that although the injuries could have been worse, he does have a scar. He said he was much more guarded while in pubs as a result and was left fearing possible repercussions of going to police.
The couple who were victims of the earlier trouble said they were left shocked, described Lowden as "out of control" and feared they could have been seriously hurt.
The woman in the car park said she didn't know why she was assaulted as she tried to calm Lowden down.
She added: "It was a good social night for charity and there was no need for this to happen. I'm upset someone was injured for helping me, he is a friend of mine."
Lowden, of North Shields, who has seven previous convictions, including for assault and affray, admitted wounding and affray and was sentenced to 19 months suspended for 18 months with an alcohol abstinence requirement.
Vic Laffey, defending, said Lowden had been a victim of "unhealthy relationships" and witnessed domestic abuse growing up. He added: "She acted completely inappropriately. She was drinking too much.
"Things are starting to turn for the better."
