A woman has appeared in court in relation to an incident in which another woman’s nose was bitten off at a wake.


Jodie Marie Rutley, 20, was arrested after the 23-year-old was assaulted outside a Guisborough club at the wake of a teenage footballer.


The victim had part of her nose bitten off outside Guisborough Quoit Club on Tuesday night.


The club had been packed with mourners following the funeral of 19-year-old Jordan Dowson , who died in a car accident.


Today, Rutley, of Charltons Terrace, Saltburn , made a brief appearance before Teesside Magistrates’ Court .


She faced a total of four charges, two of wounding with intent and two of possessing a knife in a public place - Northgate in Guisborough.


All of the offences were allegedly committed in Guisborough on Tuesday.


Prosecutor Guy Prest asked for the case to be sent to the crown court and for Rutley to be remanded in custody.


Her solicitor David Dedman said there was no application for bail.


Magistrates said they could not deal with the matters and sent it to the crown court.


Rutley’s next hearing is at Teesside Crown Court on March 14.


In the meantime, she is remanded in custody.
