A WOMAN who left her victim needing plastic surgery after hitting her in the face with a glass has been warned she could be jailed.

Faye Rawlings, of Wharf Road, Wroughton, lashed out with the weapon after stealing a mobile phone from another woman in the Old Town bar.

But the 26-year-old claimed that the injury to the victim’s face may not have been caused by the glass but her fingernail.

Chris Smyth, defending, said “Miss Rawlings said she later found her nail broken. It could have been that that caused it.

“It seems whatever the mechanism, the movement of hand to face with glass, caused the injury we see.”

She also admitted assaulting two men during the incident at the Baker Street bar on Wood Street on September 23.

A court heard how Gemma Hannath, the victim of the glassing, needs further plastic surgery on the wound and is likely to be scarred for life.

Rawlings pleaded guilty to theft of a Samsung phone, unlawful wounding and two counts of common assault.

She pleaded not guilty to a third count of assault on Sarah Boyce and prosecutors said they would not seek a trial on that charge.

Judge Euan Ambrose adjourned the case to Friday, March 11, so a pre-sentence report can be compiled by the probation service.

He released Rawlings on bail on condition she lives at her home address, observes a tagged curfew from 6pm to 8am and not to go to pubs and clubs.
