Harrogate woman gets suspended prison sentence for 'appalling assault'
A Harrogate woman has received a suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of assault.
Elaine Manaley, 55, of Dene Park, attacked the woman who was named in court on August 2 last year.
She denied the offence, which occurred at Dene Park, Bilton, but was found guilty at York Magistrates Court on Monday.
Court documents described it as an "appalling assault on a member of the public".
Manaley was also found guilty of damaging a pair of glasses and a wrist watch worth £120 belonging to the same victim. She denied the charge.
