Carina Dornelas, 45, denied causing Heather Funk actual bodily harm and threatening to kill her when she appeared in Magistrates’ Court.
Dornelas, who was currently out on bail for unrelated charges, entered a plea of not guilty to the offense.
The court heard that the incident occurred last Sunday, Details surrounding the motive for the assault were not disclosed during Friday’s proceedings.
