Zoe Harvey had been taking cocaine and drinking heavily before a heated confrontation suddenly got out of control after she came home from work.
A drunken woman "used her teeth as a weapon" in a scuffle with her boyfriend and his daughter before later trying to bite a female police officer who tried to put handcuffs on her.
Harvey had the man's mobile phone and was trying to telephone someone from his contacts list. She was later seen face down on a bed trying to hide the phone that she had taken from him. Harvey then pushed her at the top of the stairs and the daughter had to steady herself by grabbing the wall. Harvey tried to bite her right arm, causing her to recoil and fall to the bottom of the stairs, though she was uninjured. Harvey bit her multiple times on her arms and hands.
Harvey had convictions for five previous offences, most recently in July 2019, and including four of failing to pay for a railway fare. Jazmine Lee, mitigating, said that it was Harvey's first conviction for violence and the offences were fuelled by alcohol and cocaine. Her relationship with her boyfriend was "on the rocks" at the time and she feared that he was going to leave her.
