A WOMAN attacked a clubber with a shoe after she was pushed to the dancefloor in a Glasgow City Centre nightspot, a court has heard.

Hannah Weir, 26, appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing after pleading guilty to the nightclub assault.

The Uddingston woman admitted that she assaulted another woman at Distrikt nightclub in Bell Street in the Merchant City.

She plead guilty to striking the woman on her head with a shoe to her injury.

The dancefloor assault happened on July 3, last year.

The Procurator Fiscal depute told the court that the victim, who was also 26 at the time of the attack, was on the dancefloor of the night spot with her partner.

It was around 1.20am when the attack happened.

The court heard that the woman was struck on the head with the shoe which caused her to fall backwards.

The victim then saw Weir make her way towards the exit and she noticed that her forehead was bleeding.

The victim’s partner then followed Weir outside the nightclub.

Weir claimed that she had been attacked first and police arrived shortly afterwards to arrest her.

The court heard that the victim was left with a six-inch laceration.

During mitigation, Weir’s defence agent told the court that his client was under the influence of alcohol when the attack happened.

He explained that there was an incident on the dancefloor prior to the assault.

He said his client was pushed to the ground. She immediately got to her feet and struck the victim with the shoe.

The court heard that the shoe had fallen off when Weir fell to the ground and at this point she picked it up to carry out the attack.

Her defence agent told the court: “She regrets her action.” He added that his client was “genuinely scared” about being involved in criminal procedure.

He said: “She has never behaved like this before.”

The court also heard that Weir is a single parent who is self-employed.

Sentencing sheriff Aisha Anwar told Weir it was “insufficient to blame” her conduct on alcohol.

Weir, of Mungo Place, was placed on a Community Payback Order.

She will complete 90 hours of unpaid work in the community within nine months.

This was reduced from 100 hours of unpaid work in the community because Weir plead guilty at the earliest opportunity.

Sheriff Anwar said: “I expect Ms Weir that I won’t be seeing you again.
