Spennymoor woman appears in court over 'assault' after video shared on social media
Kelsey Bainbridge wept as she appeared in the dock in a grey tracksuit at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court on Monday (July 7) after her arrest over the weekend.
It came after a video was shared on social media after the alleged assault.
She entered no pleas against any of the charges against her – two counts of wounding with intent and one of possession of an offensive weapon.
Her case was sent to Durham Crown Court where she will appear on August 4.
Her dad watched from the public gallery as his 26-year-old daughter, of St Paul's Gardens in Spennymoor, was remanded in custody until that time.
"Tell the bairn that I love them", she exclaimed as she was taken down to the cells.
Police previously asked people not to speculate about the video.
A Durham Constabulary spokesperson said: 'We were made aware of a video circulating on social media following an alleged assault at an address in Spennymoor yesterday morning (July 6).
"Police attended and arrested a woman in her 20s.

Umpire attacked after Dickinson softball game, Buffalo man charged with assault
A man has been charged with assault after allegedly attacking a 68-year-old umpire following a softball game in the Town of Dickinson. Broome County District Attorney Paul Battisti announced on Aug. 4 that Leonard P. Wackowski, of Buffalo, was indicted by a Broome County Grand Jury on July 29 on one count of second-degree assault stemming from the incident. According to the charges, Carlos Chaluisant, a 68-year-old umpire, was walking to his vehicle following a July 6 game when Wackowski approached him and began yelling at him about calls made during the game. The district attorney's office did not specify which game Chaluisant called. Wackowski allegedly swept Chaluisant's legs out from under him, causing him to fall to the ground, then "mounted the victim on the ground and struck him."

Boston man tried to put chemical-laced handkerchief on boy's mouth in "bizarre" assault, D.A. alleges
A 69-year-old Boston man is accused of trying to place a chemical-laced handkerchief over the mouth of a 14-year-old boy in what prosecutors are calling a "bizarre" assault. The incident happened in Roxbury at the corner of Dudley and Washington streets on July 28, shortly after noon. Willie Cowart, of Dorchester, was arrested and charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon (chemical handkerchief), the Suffolk County District Attorney's office said. Cowart pleaded not guilty to the charge in court last Wednesday. According to prosecutors, the boy told police he was waiting for a ride on a street corner "when an older man wearing a Hawaiian shirt approached, poured an unknown liquid on a red handkerchief, and tried to put the handkerchief over his mouth." The boy was able to run away to the Nubian Square bus station and called police. Officers found Cowart wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a red handkerchief shortly after, the district attorney's office said, and the boy positively identified him. Police searched Cowart's car and found chemical cleaning agents inside, according to prosecutors. "This is a strange, and extremely disturbing, set of facts," Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement Monday. "It doesn't take much imagination to appreciate how frightening it was for this young man to be standing on a street corner and suddenly be accosted in such a bizarre manner. I'm grateful that he suffered no apparent injuries." A judge released Cowart on personal recognizance and ordered him to stay away from the victim and the incident where the alleged assault occurred. He is due back in court on Oct. 29 for an appointment of counsel hearing, which a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said could be related to a court-appointed attorney work stoppage.
