A WOMAN deliberately drove into a man on a motorbike and left him with an injury that saw his bone pierce through his ankle, a court heard.

After she initially hit the motorcyclist, she reversed back over his leg and caused severe pain.

Amy Palfrey, 21, got out of her car after the collision and told her victim, Ethan Loveridge: "You think it's funny? Now look at you. This is what you get."

There had been "bad blood" between Palfrey and Mr Loveridge, which came to a head when she knocked him off his motorbike with her Vauxhall Corsa.

A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court yesterday heard there had been "acrimony" between the defendant and the victim and the two had argued on the morning of June 2 last year in Llanbradach, Caerphilly.

CCTV shown to the court showed Mr Loveridge riding on his motorbike alongside a friend on Wingfield Crescent, when the defendant came around the bend and struck him, knocking him off his bike.
