Hide AdA Cambs Police spokesperson explained: “She tried to engage the victim and his friends in conversation but when they were not interested, she walked away.


“Moments later she returned to the table and sat down opposite the victim before throwing the glass at him, striking him across the bridge of his nose.
“The victim’s friends helped clean up the blood and tended his wounds and the following day he received stitches and treatment for several facial wounds at Peterborough City Hospital.”
Pollard, of Earls Close, Peterborough, appeared at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday (24 January) where she was sentenced to 13-months in prison, suspended for two years, after being found guilty of causing actual bodily harm in August last year.
