Chloe Lazzam pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman in broad daylight on Grey Street as part of an ongoing violent feud. She also smashed the phone of a male victim.

The attack began at 10am as Lazzam approached the two victims outside the Town Hall Coffee shop on July 16.

After a short argument she threw a punch at the woman but missed.

She then grabbed the woman by the top of her clothing and a necklace. The victim was 30 weeks pregnant at the time.

Lazzam then belted her in the face with her right fist, delivering four punches which, court documents show, left her left cheek swollen and red.

The pregnant victim says she will be getting medical help after the attack to ensure the safety of her unborn child.

The 20-year-old then approached a second male victim while he was using a mobile, grabbing the Huawei device and smashing it on the ground.

Both victims immediately walked to the police station and reported the assault - and barely two hours later Chloe Lazzam confessed to the crime.

In pleading guilty at Glen Innes Local Court, Lazzam asked Magistrate Jacqueline Trad for clemency through a lawyer who said her life has not been an easy one.

Her lawyer, who described the assault as "bold and brazen" and "inexcusable" said it was the result of a feud caused by a "milieu of too much time on their hands".

But he said it wasn't just an attack out of the blue, and said she would probably not reoffend.

Magistrate Trad said she was lucky the attack had not caused more serious injury.

She sentenced Lazzam to an 18-month conditional release for the assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
