- By MARK NAYLOR

A WOMAN was viciously attacked during a “prolonged and persistent” beating in which “multiple blows” were struck to her during a nasty “revenge attack” confrontation with two other women.

The victim tried to walk away after the two women and a man who was with them accused her of stealing - but one of the women suddenly grabbed her hair and punched her on the back of her head, Hull Crown Court heard.

Melissa Stafford, 34, of St Mary's Avenue, Selby, admitted assaulting the woman, causing actual bodily harm in Goole on June 28, 2020. She was originally due to face a trial but changed her plea. Lynne Bailey, 53, of Empson Avenue, Goole, admitted causing criminal damage to the woman’s mobile phone on the same day.
