A woman has appeared at Derry Magistrates' Court charged with assault and criminal damage.
Emer McCallion (50) of Woodleigh Terrace in Derry was charged with, on March 16 last year, assaulting her neighbour and breaking a wreath that belonged to her.
Police were initially called to the scene and spoke to two women who said that McCallion had been in their apartment and had grabbed one of them by the hair.
McCallion denied the assault when interviewed but admitted to breaking the wreath.
Defence Barrister Sinead Rogan said that McCallion had a relevant record and said that a degree of bad behavior had been accepted.
She was sentenced to three months in custody, suspended for two years and ordered to pay a £175 compensation order.
