29-year-old who threw glass at teacher avoids jail

    A Cancer survivor has avoided a sentence after lashing out at a 52-year-old.

    Manchester Crown Court heard earlier this week how Natalie Baker smashed a glass into her victims face after an argument broke out.

    The incident that took place last year, in July saw Baker shouting abusive comments at the 52-year-old teacher, grabbing her arm and then throwing a glass in her face.

    The victim suffered a deep cut to her nose that needed 12 stitches.

    Baker was ordered to be electronically tagged and to pay a £140 statutory victim surcharge.
