Woman to face trial for allegedly attacking girl at school
A woman accused of going to her child’s school and assaulting a 11-year-old student who was involved in a fight with her child is to go on trial on December 20.
Avril James, who appeared to be in her early forties, pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm when she appeared in court last Friday. Her bail was subsequently extended for her to return for trial in the night court.
The court heard that the complainant was involved in a fight at her school with James’ daughter. It was further reported that James then went to the school and grabbed the complainant and pushed her into a bookshelf.
James also reportedly slapped the complainant across her face, causing pain and swelling.
The matter was reported and James was arrested and charged.
