A woman who threw a half pint glass in a local pub and injured an innocent bystander has been ordered to pay the victim £500 compensation.

Preston Crown Court was told that Joanne Pickering, 20, had not intended to injure anyone when she threw the glass in the Forresters Arms on Shadsworth Road, Blackburn.

Victim Patricia Davies, aged 40, sustained a cut to the bridge of her nose needing seven stitches.

Her nose was also broken and had to be re-set two weeks later.

Pickering of Brownlow Street had been committed for sentence after pleading guilty to unlawful wounding.

She was also given a four month prison sentence suspended for a year, and ordered to do 120 hours unpaid community work and pay costs of £270.
