A woman attacked two others with a broken bottle after being told to leave a club she was banned from, Supreme Court has heard.

One of Wendy Harvey's alleged victims, Gene-Anne Bean, suffered a wound to her face requiring 22 stitches after the incident at Hamilton Parish Working Man's Club in July, 2005.

Describing the bloodshed, Ms Bean, the club secretary, told a jury: "I guessed it was raining. It was just liquid coming down my face. I kept saying I thought it was raining. Two years later I still can't understand."

Harvey, of Northchurch Lane, Hamilton Parish, denies wounding Ms Bean and Gloria Hayward-Cox with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Opening the case, Crown counsel Robert Welling claimed Harvey was unwelcome at the club — also known as Crawl Hill Club — on the night in question. However, he said, she attempted to enter on several occasions and had to be escorted out by Ms Bean.

He told the jury it was likely to hear evidence that Harvey became "aggressively more drunk" over the course of the evening and the manner in which she was escorted out became "more confrontational and aggressive".

"The result, the prosecution say, was having been asked to leave the premises, she (Harvey) went to the trash can, removed a beer bottle, deliberately broke it against a wall, announced that she was going to harm Gene-Anne Bean and did so," said Mr. Welling.

The result of her striking Ms Bean on the head was, he said, two wounds to her face with one continuing from the forehead down on to her nose. He said that afterwards, an angry Ms Bean wanted to hit Harvey but was held back. Then Ms Hayward-Cox heard what was going on outside the club and approached Harvey.

"It's the prosecution's case that Wendy Harvey, fired up from the assault on Gene-Anne Bean, then simply attacked Gloria Hayward-Cox," Mr. Welling said.

He told the jury it would hear about wounds Ms Hayward-Cox suffered to her shoulder, arm, and back. He also claimed that after Harvey was arrested, she told the Police "those bitches attacked me" and is likely to use self defence as an argument during her trial.

In her evidence Ms Bean, from St. George's, told the court she has known Harvey for around 20 years, and she was the subject of a lifetime ban from the club.

However, she said, she tried enter on four or five occasions that night with it becoming harder to get rid of her as things progressed, and it becoming apparent that Harvey might be drunk.

Eventually, said Ms Bean, by 11 p.m., "I'm tired and fed up and I told her I had had enough and to get the f*** out".

She said she gripped Harvey's shirt and took her outside. However, she said, Harvey told her "she was going to f**k me up" and got a Heineken bottle from the trash and broke it.

"She had her hand up, then she dramatically broke the bottle on the wall," she said, demonstrating this action to the jury.

"She came back at me. I guess she was mad. She came with the arm extended and the bottle raised. She stepped in front of me and she swung."

Ms Bean told the court her assailant caught her with the bottle on forehead and the bridge of her nose. After this, said Ms Bean, she went running towards Harvey with a crash helmet in her hand but was stopped by a concerned club member who did not want her to get into trouble.

Cross examining Ms Bean, Harvey's lawyer Elizabeth Christopher put it to her that she had got "fired up with anger" at her client that night. Ms Christopher further alleged that Ms Bean went outside the club and grabbed the crash helmet before the alleged bottle incident and that she had given Harvey a "ringing slap."

Ms Bean denied this.

The witness also denied further suggestions from Ms Christopher that she got cut while Harvey was trying to fend her off, and that she never witnessed Harvey breaking the bottle or threatening to f**k her up.

The case continues.
