A young woman who assaulted another woman told a probation officer she would do it again.
Ashley Deborah Butter, 25, pleaded guilty to common assault in Whanganui District Court on Tuesday. The assault happened one morning in the street, Police Prosecutor Stephen Butler said.
Butter grabbed her victim by the hair, forced her head down and struck her about the head. When the victim's glasses fell off she snatched them up and threw them.
The victim suffered a sore head and shoulders.
Asked about the assault, Butter said she was glad she had finally got the victim, who "deserved it". Her counsel, Raukawa Simon, said it was Butter's background that made her act that way.
