3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 2
  • Westminster magistrates court heard Melissa Rein Lively, 40, accepted a conditional caution after admitting she assaulted a woman at Bond Street station last October.
  • £910 in compensation is due in July under the caution, which required her to admit the conduct was a criminal offence; an assault by beating charge was then withdrawn.
  • Prosecutors said the altercation began after Rein Lively appeared intoxicated, stumbled into a pushchair as two sisters walked with their children, then grabbed one sister's hair forcefully.
  • Philipp Ostermann, 37, who was with Rein Lively, pleaded not guilty to two racially aggravated public order charges and another public order offence; he was granted unconditional bail before a November trial.
