A WOMAN has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent following an alleged stiletto-heel attack which left a Poole man in need of surgery.

Emma Anne White, 28, of Worrell Drive, Poole appeared before Bournemouth magistrates and has been remanded on bail to appear at Bournemouth Crown Court later this month.

She was arrested in relation to an incident in Poole High Street when 21-year-old Dean Roche was allegedly hit with a stiletto shoe in the early hours of Saturday April 26.

Asda worker Mr Roche, of Canford Heath, Poole underwent surgery after his cheekbone was fractured in four places. After the incident he spoke of his fear of going out in public.
