AN 18-year-old girl left her neighbour covered in blood after she glassed him the FACE in a row over noise.

Ella Dare hit Andrew Jones in a street fight sparked after neighbours complained about noise made by Dare and her boyfriend Macauley Mason, 24.

Waitress Dare lashed out at Andrew and his girlfriend Crystal – slashing the former in the face.

Andrew was left with a deep gash on his forehead and had blood pouring down his face and onto his t-shirt after the shock attack in Cwmbran, South Wales.

Dare admitted unlawful wounding and actual bodily harm over the attack in August 2020, Newport Crown Court heard.

Dare's partner Mason admitted a public order offence for using threatening words or behaviour.

The report for Mason said: "He says that he on the night in question was being loud and understands his behaviour could have caused fear to others.

"He says he was reacting to a situation and should have walked away."

Dare admitted unlawful wounding and actual bodily harm over the attack in August 2020 at Newport Crown Court.

Mason admitted a public order offence for using threatening words or behaviour.

The court heard the couple "deeply regretted" their actions

Peter Donnison, defending Dare, said: "It is two years since the time of the offence and she was of a very young age, being just 18 at the time, now 20.

"She has genuine remorse for being involved in this incident. What she says is she should have walked away."

The court heard Dare worked 25 hours a week as a waitress and was taking a college course studying business. She hoped to get a degree in the future.

Claire Pickthall, defending Mason, said: "He is clearly a young man who has difficulty regulating his emotions and he has remained out of trouble since August 2020.

"A stable relationship with Miss Dare has been a positive influence on him.

"He is remorseful for being involved in this offence and the person who he cares for very deeply got involved in this."

Judge Daniel Williams said the couple had changed their pleas after the start of their trial.

He said: "Ella Dare has admitted unlawful wounding. That reflects she struck Andrew Jones with a pint glass causing him an injury.

"She admits causing the wounds to Andrew Jones but not intending to cause him serious harm.

"She also struck Crystal Jones with a pint glass but didn't cause any wound."

Dare, of Cwmbran, was handed a 12 month community order and perform 100 hours unpaid work and complete 10 days rehabilitation requirement.

Mason, also of Cwmbran, was handed a 20 day rehabilitation requirement.
