A WOMAN who attacked her boss by glassing him in the face in the first week of her job has been described as "highly dangerous".

Paula Randall, 20, had been working at call centre Res-Q on Carr Lane, Hull city centre, for a week when she went out with her line manager Alexander Watt and fellow colleagues after work on May 7.

Randall unexpectedly attacked Mr Watt by swinging her glass into his face, causing cuts and grazes.

At Hull Crown Court, Judge Trevor Swanson jailed her for 12 months.

He described her actions as "worrying" and said it could have been a "revenge" attack.

The group were drinking in a city bar and at one stage Mr Watt and Randall spoke to each other.

Later in the evening, Randall shouted to him from the exit of Mason's bar and asked him to join her outside, where she then suddenly attacked him.

As he reached for a cigarette she unexpectedly glassed him in the face.

Randall, of Princess House, Scunthorpe, has pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and has been jailed for 12 months.

She has no previous convictions.
