Woman jailed after injuring bar-goer’s face with stiletto

A BALBY woman who caused “significant facial injuries” to a stranger’s face with her stiletto shoe  in an “unprovoked attack” in a busy Doncaster bar has been jailed for 15 months. 

Thereese Soper, (29), of St Catherine’s Avenue, pleaded guilty to Section 20 wounding following her “dangerous behaviour” in an altercation on Monday, January 11 last year.

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said: “Soper’s victim, a 33-year-old woman, had been out socialising with her friends in the Jacques Bar in Lazarus Court, when Soper became confrontational towards her.

“Soper’s aggression quickly escalated and she admitted to punching the victim before kicking out at her with her stiletto on.

“The victim suffered facial injuries caused by Soper’s stiletto heel, and was taken to hospital via ambulance.” 

Investigating officer Det Con Danielle Green said: “This was an unprovoked attack on an innocent woman in a busy bar.

“Soper’s behaviour was unjustified, unnecessary and dangerous. I am pleased that her sentencing reflects the severity of the injury caused.”

Soper was sentenced to 15 months in prison at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday.
