Head door steward Graham Roach stepped in to help a colleague as he challenged Sarah Marsden over her drunken behaviour at Shanghai on the city's George Street last July. However, the 28-year-old bouncer was knocked to the ground during the disturbance and as he lay there, Marsden stamped down with her shoe, splitting open his eye socket.
Mr Roach was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he endured a four hour operation, but the damage was too severe and medics were unable to save his eye. Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard that when 37-year-old Marsden was taken to St Leonard's Police Station and charged with assault she said: "I'm sorry".
Marsden, of 87 Cables Wynd House, Edinburgh, admitted carrying out the assault on Mr Roach at Edinburgh's George Street on July 25, last year. Sheriff Neil MacKinnon deferred sentence for background reports until next month when pleas in mitigation will also be heard.
