A mother of two has been convicted after being caught on CCTV slapping her boyfriend in the face outside a bar in an argument described by a magistrate as 'silly'.

Victoria Woodward, 38, and Connor Thompson had been feuding in the street at pub closing time when she suddenly struck him in Warrington, Cheshire.

As the couple then carried on walking through town centre, she was unaware that CCTV operators had contacted police and provided footage of the attack.

Officers traced the couple four minutes later and questioned Woodward who was subsequently charged with assault when she admitted slapping Mr Thompson.

He declined to be co-operate with the investigation.
