Woman ‘pulled clump of hair from love rival’
A woman pulled a clump of hair from a love rival through a car window, a court heard.
Joelle Selway-Rand, 35, confronted Jassynta Nicholson claiming she had been racist towards her.
Selway-Rand grabbed Ms Nicholson’s hair through the car window after a confrontation, it was said.
Ms Nicholson was seeing Selway-Rand’s ex-boyfriend at the time of the incident on 31 August last year, it was said.
She appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court today (weds) wearing a grey tracksuit and denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Prosecutor Hallie Weiner said: ‘The complainant was sitting in a car when was confronted by the defendant who challenged her about the allegation the complainant made of racist behaviour towards her in 2023.
‘That turned into an altercation in which the defendant put her hand through open window and pulled out clump of her hair.
‘She has then pulled the complainant’s head to the body work of the car and the complainant’s then hit her head on the car as well.
‘The complainant, distressed, has called for help and the defendant made off but was later caught up with by police.’
Selway-Rand elected to have her trial at the crown court and was bailed to appear at Isleworth Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 19 August.
