Mrs. Collins, a mother for four, went to Asda with one of her son Terry Collins on 2 September 2008. Mrs. Grimshaw hit Terry's head initially when she met them and Mrs. Collins fought back with her.

The defendent, of Quarry Road, Sheffield, pleaded guilty at Sheffield Magistrate Court to the charge of fighting. She was given a discharge on condition that she does not commit an offence with 12 months and compensation cost 50 pounds.
