She was also banned from licensed premises for 12 months.
Passing sentence this week, Magistrate Bridget Shaw told Manson that she “can’t expect another chance”, and would have faced prison for the two charges of grave and criminal assault and being drunk on licensed premises, were it not for her young family.
The attack took place in Havana in Bath Street on the evening of 16 July 2022. Prosecuting, Legal Adviser Paul Lee told the Magistrate’s Court that after the victim shoved Manson, the defendant lashed out with the bottle, which was not broken during the attack.

Not only did it leave the victim with a small scar on her left eyebrow and suffering “flashbacks” and “panic attacks”, but she was now also fearful of going out for fear of coming across Manson or one of her friends, Mr Lee said.
The court heard that Manson had five previous convictions for violence, four of them dating from when she was under 18.
Advocate Frances Littler, defending, argued for a suspended sentence.
She explained Manson had had a difficult childhood which had given “rise to anger, aggression and issues with alcohol”. She added that Manson had not been out drinking since discovering she was pregnant.
Magistrate Bridget Shaw told Manson: “You hit the victim very hard with a weapon, intending to cause injury, to a vulnerable part of her body.
“There are also the long-term effects on her psychologically. There are consequences to your actions and you need to take responsibility for those.”
She went on to warn Manson that she will be back in court if she breaches her community service order.
As well as the £1,500 compensation to her victim, Manson was ordered to pay £800 in costs.
