Fashion graduate stamped on woman with stiletto in bar brawl
A FASHION graduate stamped on another woman with her stiletto heel at a west London nightclub during a Valentine’s Day row over a bar stool, a court has been told.
Jadine Kimberley Shaw-Grant, 33, inflicted a cut to the thigh and foot of City accounts executive Alejandra Millan-Doussin, 39, who also suffered a bloody nose at Kensington Roof Gardens on February 14 last year.
Shaw-Grant, of Bromley, south-east London, denied the allegation but was convicted of assaulting Mrs MillanDoussin.
On Tuesday she was placed on a sixmonth community order by Hammersmith magistrates and must obey an evening home curfew for 10 weeks between 8.30pm and 6am.
She was also banned from pubs and clubs for four months and ordered to pay Mrs Millan-Doussin £100 compensation and £400 court costs and an £80 victim surcharge.
“She was shouting and was aggres- sive,” said Mrs Millan-Doussin, who was drinking champagne at the club with her husband, Alexis Doussin, 34.
“They took the stool and when I went to ask them for it they were aggressive,” she added, explaining ShawGrant was backed-up by another woman and a man.
The club’s CCTV captured the melee as the couple disappeared beneath a number of people, with Shaw-Grant clearly making a stamping motion at the prone victim. “I blacked out, I did not feel anything, it was scary. I couldn’t move,” added Mrs Millan-Doussin, a senior executive payroll executive with global accountancy company Moore Stephens. Her husband was also knocked to the dance floor and witnessed the attack on his wife.
Shaw-Grant has a degree in fashion buying and brand management from Ravensbourne – formerly the Bromley College of Art, whose alumni include the late David Bowie and designers Stella McCartney and Bruce Oldfield.
Manjit Mahal, prosecuting, told the court that Mrs Millan-Doussin “suffered injuries to her face and to her leg, which she says is the result of a female’s heel”. A man seen throwing punches was cautioned by police.
District Judge Richard Inyendo said: “I could be justified in imposing a custodial sentence today, but I don’t think that’s fair on you because after the trial you were told a community order was being considered,” he told Shaw-Grant. “You should have stopped and thought before carrying on.”
