Two women fighting in the street turned on a ‘good Samaritan’ when he tried to break up the brawl.

The victim was visiting his mother on Scott Hope Close, on the Weston in Macclesfield, on Boxing Day last year when he saw a fight in the street outside, magistrates were told.

He went out onto the street to try to help stop the violence, a hearing heard.

But after attempting to break the fight up, the two women set upon him, repeatedly kicking and punching him.

Appearing before the bench at a hearing at Macclesfield Magistrates’ Court, one of the woman, 18-year-old Georgia Bloomfield, admitted assault.

She also admitted assaulting a police constable who arrived to break up the melee.

Her co-defendant, who is under 18 and cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted a series of charges at youth court.

Kate Marchuk, prosecuting, told the court: “The victim saw the pair were arguing. He thought the smaller aggressor, who was Ms Bloomfield, was male.

“He could not just stand and watch, and so decided to go outside and intervene. He said ‘what are you hitting her for?”

“Miss Bloomfield replied: ‘why, do you want a go as well?’”

The two women both started to punch and kick the victim repeatedly in an incident which the victim said lasted about ‘half an hour’.

As well as hitting him repeatedly, the other woman also pushed her fingers up his nostrils, the court heard.

The victim was left with a bloody face, and swelling, grazes and bruising to his body, the court was told.

Ms Marchuk added: “The victim said all he was trying to do was be a good Samaritan. When a police officer arrived to help, Bloomfield kicked her in the shin.”

Simon Morton, defending Bloomfield, of Rushfield Road, Cheadle Hulme, told the court that his client was sorry for her actions.

He said: “At the time of the assault she was aged 17. She had consumed a litre of vodka, she does not remember the incident.

“She says it was out of character and that she is remorseful, she recognises the victim was being public spirited.

Bloomfield was ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work by magistrates, to pay £250 compensation to the victim and £50 compensation to the police officer. She was also told she must pay £85 costs to the court.

The other women pleaded guilty to two count of assault, two counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of criminal damage at Macclesfield youth court.
