A WOMAN who attacked three workers at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester has been ordered to pay compensation.

Summer McCarthy, 21, of Christchurch Road, assaulted health care assistant Sean Blackmore on January 8 and security guards Amrit Gurung and Thomas Tyler on November 28 last year, a court heard.

She admitted the charges at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on Wednesday August 2.

District Judge Stephen Apted imposed a community order for rehabilitation activity for up to 17 days.

He also ordered McCarthy to pay £150 compensation to each victim and a £114 victim surcharge. The penalty, totalling £564, will be deducted from her benefits.

McCarthy also pleaded guilty to failing to attend court on July 25. There was no separate penalty.
