A WALLYFORD resident has been fined after she admitted assaulting two members of the same family.
Emma Tait attacked Margaret Russell by lunging towards her and grabbing the woman by the body.
The attacker then struck Ms Russell to the body to her injury at Newbattle Road in Dalkeith.
Tait, of Cowpits Road, also assaulted Rebecca Russell by seizing and pulling her by the hair, and repeatedly striking her on the head to her injury during the same incident on July 9, 2022.
The 42-year-old pleaded guilty to both offences in front of Sheriff Donald Corke at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last Thursday. Sheriff Corke sentenced Tait to pay a fine of £290.
