A WOMAN accused of assaulting another female has appeared in court.

Tracey Law, of Glenfield Avenue in Deighton, was before Huddersfield Magistrates’ Court yesterday. She is alleged to have attacked Vicky McKenna with a knife. The incident allegedly took place on September 3 at Law’s address.

Law, 32, accepts causing injury with her fingernail but denies using a knife.

District Judge Marie Mallon agreed to adjourn the case to obtain evidence from a Home Office pathologist.

Law will next appear before the court on February 14.
