A woman who refused to leave her cell to face court had to be coaxed from the police station wearing a "suicide gown".
The 27-year-old Lansdowne woman who had been remanded from the court on a charge of assault immediately left court on Thursday and assaulted the same victim again.
She had appeared in court on crutches. It was after her second arrest she originally refused to leave her cell at the police station, the court heard.
Judge Barbara Morris adjourned court for a short time and the woman soon appeared in court, visibly distressed and crying periodically during the short appearance.
She was wearing a police suicide gown.
