Woman admonished after hitting man with glass bottle

Mia Russell, 23, hit stranger Aiden Phinn at a property in Glasgow's Cardonald on November 21, 2024.

Russell, of the city's Govan, lashed out at Mr Phinn amid claims that she had earlier been verbally abused.

Mr Phinn was later treated at hospital for a wound to his eye, which was glued shut.

Russell pleaded guilty in 2025 at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the assault to Mr Phinn's injury.

Sheriff Paul Reid deferred sentence for good behaviour until today for good behaviour when she was admonished and matters brought to an end.

The court previously heard Russell and Mr Phinn had met for the first time that night among a group.

Prosecutor Lauren Donnelly said: "The two engaged in a disagreement with each other.

"Mr Phinn made his way to the top of the stairs to make his way down when Russell approached him holding a glass bottle.

"She swung the bottle at his head which made contact and caused an injury to his eye and cheek."

Mr Phinn later boarded a train where his injury was noted by an officer of the British Transport Police.

The victim then went to hospital for treatment.

Miss Donnelly added: "He had a wound above his eye which required glue to close it and he was discharged in the early hours of the morning."

Tony Callaghan, defending, told the court that his client had a "Dickensian upbringing."

The lawyer added: "She said she was verbally abused [that day]...and was triggered.
