A Glasgow woman got on a bus, punched a passenger in the face and then got off.

Lyndsey Borland, 35, stepped on a bus at 9.30am on October 11, 2022 on Crookston Road in the Southside.

She went up to Jodie McCutcheon, who she knew and who was travelling to her work at Gartnavel Hospital, and punched her twice in the face.

The strikes hit her in the eyebrow and chin, causing cuts there.

Borland then left the vehicle.

Police were called and she could not be traced at the time but she was later arrested.

The Priesthill resident appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to the assault.

Her lawyer said: "She is engaging with addiction services once a week.

"She is already paying a fine at £50 per month."

Sheriff Collette Gallagher told Borland: "Your daughter seems to be the reason why you are engaging so well. 

"This matter is very serious. Regardless of why there was tension between the two of you, this was an assault on a bus."

Borland was sentenced to 12 months of supervision and was tagged, forcing her to stay at her home between 7pm and 7am for 135 days.
