In Glasgow, Scotland, a new mom wreaked havoc at a gay nightclub on her first night out after giving birth when she clawed a chunk of hair from a fellow club-goer, knocked that woman’s friend unconscious, and then spat at responding officers, all while hurling homophobic abuse at her victims.

28-year-old Amy Montgomery pleaded guilty in Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the two women and to “disfigurement” and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Among her homophobic rants, the woman shouted, “You p**fy b***ard,” to a constable as she was restrained by officers, according to Glasgow Live.

Montgomery’s attorney told the court his client “realizes this is a serious matter.”

Prosecutors said the two victims, Aimee Henderson and Kirstin Breslin, were walking through the Glasgow AXM nightclub when “Montgomery lunged towards Miss Breslin and seized her by the hair. She then pulled her to the ground.”

A “significant chunk” of hair was pulled by Montgomery from Breslin’s scalp. When Henderson intervened, she and Montgomery ended up in a struggle and fell to the ground face to face.

Prosecutor Jessica McGowan told the court: “As Montgomery was being pulled off Miss Henderson, she kicked her to the head while she was lying on the ground. As a result, Miss Henderson lost consciousness for 60 seconds.”

Henderson suffered an injury to her bottom lip, as well. Meanwhile, Montgomery was spewing insults at her victims, screaming “F***ing p***k” and  “F***ing a*****les.”

When police arrived, the mother of three continued her homophobic rant while spitting on officers. She was ultimately restrained by four cops.

Montgomery’s attorney, James Arrol, told the court: “She realizes this is a serious matter – she is a single parent. The circumstances of this offense occurred on the first evening that she had out following the birth of one of her children.”

Prosecutors told the court Breslin’s injury resulted in difficulty regrowing her hair after visits to experts in hair regrowth. The incident has caused her to be anxious and worried when going out.

The sentence in the case was deferred until December, pending background reports. Montgomery remains free on bail.
