Vanya Louise Monet (45) attacked the man on Don Street on 2 February.

A trial in the Magistrate’s Court heard that Monet had banged the man’s head against a window pane and had kicked him repeatedly as he fell to the ground.

Monet denied doing so. She claimed that a noise that sounded as if she was kicking him was in fact an echo caused when she stamped her foot.

But Magistrate Bridget Shaw said: “It is not plausible.

“I am sure you committed a grave and criminal assault and I find you guilty.”

Monet will be sentenced on 8 September.
