A TROUBLED teenager who glassed a man, ripping his cornea and leaving him needing surgery, has been jailed for 12 months.

Candice Smith, 19, who also attacked a 17-year-old girl in her own home with accomplice Toni Crossley, 22, the same night, drank a bottle of vodka a day, Burnley Crown Court heard.

Victim Craig Fell, who is in his 20s, was covered in blood but Smith then hit him again until she was restrained by her father.

Mr Fell had to have an operation to repair a cut in his eye and also suffered gashes around his nose and eye.

Smith, of Whittle Street, Rawtenstall, admitted wounding in March. She and co-defendant Crossley both pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm. Crossley, a mother-to-be, of Briercliffe Road, Burnley, was given 20 weeks in prison, suspended for two years, with supervision.

Judge Angela Nield told Smith she had been on a "spree of violence," and it remained a worry to the court it was triggered so lightly and was so extreme.

Michael Lavery, for Smith, said she had unresolved issues from her childhood, suffered grief over a pregnancy she lost at 14 and was in the thrall of loan sharks who threatened violence.

Martin Hackett, defendi-ng Crossley , said the offence was clearly out of character.
