A 44-year-old woman has been jailed for 10 months after she attacked her neighbour with a spade, hitting him on the head.
Catherine Lloyd of George Street, Peterborough, set about her victim outside his home in the Woodston area of the city on 14 May, following a dispute that had been going on for three years.
The man, who was in his 20s, was left with a cut to his head that needed hospital treatment.
Lloyd was sentenced by a judge at Peterborough Crown Court after admitting causing grievous bodily harm without intent.
Cambridgeshire Police said the neighbours had been in dispute about “various issues”.
Det Con Lloyd Davis said: “Catherine Lloyd’s behaviour in this case was completely unacceptable.
“Irrespective of any ongoing dispute, violence like this is not the answer.
“I’m pleased the victim can now move on.”
