Court reports have been ordered on a woman who allegedly attacked a stranger at the Hamilton Bus Terminal.

Sahrika DeSilva, 30, pleaded guilty to a single count of assault in connection to an incident on November 10 last year.

The court heard that DeSilva approached a woman who was sitting on a bench at the terminal, called her by a derogatory name and shoved her face into the bench.

Police were contacted, arriving a short time later, and upon speaking to witnesses learnt that DeSilva was still at the bus terminal and was sat in a locked, parked bus.

She was subsequently taken to Hamilton Police Station, but later taken to the Mid Atlantic Wellness Institute.

Interviewed by police at a later date, she said she remembered grabbing a woman by the face and pushing it into the bench, but that she did not know the victim and had never met her before.

Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo ordered a social inquiry report and a psychological assessment, releasing DeSilva on bail until the next sitting of Mental Health Treatment Court.
