An enraged woman picked an argument with three strangers on a night out – then tried to eat their car.

Rhian Jeremiah sank her teeth into the roof of the Fiat 500 in a scene reminiscent of Jaws in the James Bond movies.

The shocked victims said they heard “metal crunching” as drunken Jeremiah bit down on their motor.

A court was told Selina Day, 23, and two friends were parked outside the Lip Lick’n Chicken takeaway when “aggressive and angry” Jeremiah, 26, approached them.

Ms Day said: “She came up to the car and tried to rip the door open. I couldn’t understand her, she was drunk and abusive.

“There was a bit of an argument and she sunk her teeth into the part of the car above the window. I could hear the metal crunching.”

Police found teeth marks in the white metal work, which cost more than £200 to repair.

Magistrates in Aberystwyth, West Wales, were told Jeremiah had been drinking in the town at a memorial for her boyfriend Simon Jones, who drowned.

She had been retracing his steps on what would have been his birthday, the court heard.

Jeremiah, of Cardigan, was found guilty of causing criminal damage.

She admitted assaulting two police officers, who were called to arrest her.

She was given a 12-month community order and ordered to attend 20 alcohol abuse counselling sessions.
