On December 28 last year, McCollin was on a bike and saw Ms Marra. The court heard she asked her to put money towards the purchase of drugs.

Jan Hayne, prosecuting, told the court that McCollin grabbed Ms Marra’s scarf and she was unable to breathe for around 30 seconds.

She then threw a gold can at her.

Then on December 31, McCollin went to Ms Marra’s flat and intimidated her.

She then slapped the victim in the face, leaving a red mark and swelling, the court was told.

On January 2, McCollin entered Ms Marra’s flat again, smashed a mobile phone and took Diazepam tablets.

The court heard that McCollin has 74 previous convictions for 205 offences.

Judge Michael Roques said: “You have a huge number of previous convictions. Your previous convictions are such an aggravating factor.”

McCollin was jailed for two years and given a five-year restraining order to not contact the victim.
