A woman at a gay bar was stabbed in the skull - with a stiletto heel.

Now disgraced blonde Aileen Hicks will have to serve the community to atone for her crime.

And ironically the 28-year-old wants to become a CARER.

She launched her astonishing attack at the entrance to the Rusty Nail pub in Ayr’s South Harbour Street.

Hicks arrived holding her stilettos after being unable to walk in them, the town’s sheriff court heard.

Depute fiscal Kirsty Urquhart said it was 8pm and victim Maureen Tannock was standing in the doorway with a collecting can.

There was a private function underway inside and Ms Tannock was effectively taking money for the event.

Miss Urquhart said she was refused entry and Ms Tannock tried to usher her way.

She added: “She took her stiletto heel and struck Ms Tannock on the head with it.

“Other people had to pull her away from the complainer.”

The heel left a 1.5cm gash on her head and she was taken to Ayr Hospital for treatment.

Hicks, of Fulshaw Crescent, Ayr admitted assaulting Maureen Tannock on May 30 at the Rusty Nail by striking her with the heel and struggling with her.

Colin Adam, defending, said Hicks, worked part-time but was studying health and social care at a local college.

She had been on a night out, consumed alcohol and was on her way home, but wanted inside the pub to wait for a lift.

Mr Adam said Ms Tannock and her daughter were effectively asking for an entry fee to the pub which was “unusual” for the venue.

He said she had taken off her heels to walk but a “fair degree of force” had been used by Ms Tannock to usher her away.

Mr Adam added: “She had a shoe in her hand and spiked the complainer. She accepts this went beyond self defence.”

A temporary sheriff sentenced her to 100 hours community service and ordered her to pay Ms Tannock £300 compensation.

He said: “Hitting someone on the head with a stiletto heel is something that could have resulted in very serious injuries.”
