Care worker Georgina Lowe, 20, has been spared jail despite biting both a bouncer and a police officer in the arm while drunk

A care worker who bit a bouncer's arm then sank her teeth into a policeman in a drunken rampage has been spared jail.

Georgina Lowe, 20, bit doorman Nathan Murray on the arm after he asked her to step away from a puddle of beer for her own safety.

Police were called but as PC Matthew Waggett tried to restrain her, she sunk her teeth into his arm too, before pleading not to be arrested.

Despite this, a judge has ruled it would be 'inappropriate' to jail Lowe because she is 'well spoken of' and looks after vulnerable people.

Both victims had to be taken to hospital after Lowe bit them outside Yates's bar in Manchester city centre in the early hours of July 12 last year.

PC Waggett was treated for a half-inch long bite mark on his right arm where the skin was punctured and was left with a permanent scar.

In an impact statement, the officer he arrived at the bar to find Lowe, from Sale, Greater Manchester, banging her own head on the pavement.

'I tried my utmost to help calm her down and diffuse the situation,' he told Manchester Crown Court.

'While having been assaulted on numerous occasions throughout my 14 years in the job, I didn't expect to be assaulted by a person I was attempting to help.'

Lowe, who was described as 'very drunk', admitted two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but she was spared prison and instead ordered to pay £250 compensation to each victim. She was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service.

Passing sentence, Judge Martin Steiger QC said he thought it 'inappropriate' to jail Lowe.

He said: 'The defendant is woman with no previous convictions who is well spoken of and who works full time looking after those who are disadvantaged.

'This offence is entirely out of character and a mystery why she behaved the way she did unless the drink caused her to behave the way she did.

'Ordinarily when someone commits this type of offence can expect to go to prison. However I have been considerably affected in this particular case by the content of medical notes sent in and the fact that since this incident the defendant has sought help as a result of attempting suicide.

'She has been suspended from her current employment and finds she may lose the job she obviously enjoys and where she is well spoken of by friends and relatives.

'In all the circumstances it seems to me inappropriate to pass a custodial sentence and I say that in light of relevant guidelines.'

Jurors had earlier heard how Lowe had been suspended from her £12,000-a-year job as a carer after her arrest.

Kim Irving, prosecuting, said Lowe was 'very drunk' when something was spilled on the floor at Yates's, where she was on a night out with friends.

Miss Irving said: 'Mr Murray was trying to move people away from the spillage for their safety and asked the defendant politely and repeatedly to move. But she refused, telling him to "f*** off".

'He then moved her to one side away from the liquid and turned to walk away. She then walked up behind him and pushed him, causing him to stumble so he turned to eject her and did that using a reasonable force.

'While doing that she was repeatedly calling him abusive names. They got outside and he stood back, she moved towards him and, unprovoked, slapped him in the face. She then tried to slap him a second time but he restrained her.

'During the course of restraining her she bit him on both forearms, drawing blood and removing some flesh. There was something of a struggle and the police were called.'

PC Waggett arrived at the scene to find Lowe on the floor banging her own head on the ground.

Miss Irving added: 'He helped restrain her, concerned of the damage she was causing to herself. But while putting handcuffs on, she bit him on the arm. His arm was bleeding and she was then arrested. She started to cry, saying she was sorry and she thought the officer was a doorman.

'She told the officer not to arrest her because she was a carer. The officer explained she had to be arrested and she became aggressive to the officer, calling him a 'fat p****'. There is higher culpability because of the use of a weapon, as in teeth. Both complainants were doing their public duty.'

PC Waggett had swelling and bruising to his arm for two weeks and underwent a course of antibiotics.

In his statement he added: 'With a bite mark I have had to deal with the risk of infection requiring medication and I have a small, long-lasting, if not permanent, mark.' The extent of Mr Murray's injuries were not aired in court.

In mitigation, defence counsel Mr Chudi Grant said his client had mental health problems and added: 'The proceedings have been salutary for her and have forced her to mind about what she needs to do for future and hopes to put her time to more constructive use.
