A young woman who dragged another from a central city store and attacked her in an assault caught on camera has been sentenced to community service and supervision.
Alexandria Gemini Ngarimu, 18, appeared in Rotorua District Court today for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to charge of assaulting the woman with intent to injure.
Judge Phillip Cooper sentenced Ngarimu to 180 hours' community work and nine months' supervision.
The victim was dragged from a dairy and attacked - including being kicked and stomped on - in front of about 20 people in the daylight attack in January.
At least two witnesses called police but none stepped in to stop the assault.
Witnesses at the time said Ngarimu accused the victim of "sleeping with her man".
When asked to leave by the dairy owner, the woman went outside and continued the abuse from the doorway. The dairy owner, who did not want to be named, said the victim was terrified and did not want to leave the shop.
The victim treated at Rotorua Hospital for facial injuries.
