A BRITISH stablehand smashed a colleague's face in a jealous rage after she 'looked at her fiance'.

Elizabeth Hasler, 27, left her victim with a broken nose, fractured cheek and needing dental work to her damaged teeth following the furious drunken attack.

A court heard Hasler and the victim were at a staff party at the Doncaster Hotel in Sydney, Australia, when she shouted: "What the f*** are you looking at?"

The Sydney Morning Herald reports Hasler claimed the woman had been looking at her partner all night.

Hasler warned the victim to 'walk away or I'll knock you out' before punching her in the face.

She pleaded guilty to one count of occasioning actual bodily harm at Waverley Local Court.

Handing her 250 hours of community service, Sydney magistrate Michael Barko slammed Hasler for the "drunken rage of jealousy".

He said: "If I showed these facts to the general community and said it's a male [perpetrator], they would say he should go to jail.

"Why can't people go out at night, have a good time and go to bed? I’m sick of violence."

The pair worked together at Gai Waterhouse Racing Stables, in Sydney.

Hasler moved to Australia from Kent in 2011 and shares a flat with her Australian fiance Adam Hyeronimus, who was in court to support her.

Her solicitor told the court: "She fully understands what she did was wrong."

He added Hasler and the victim have socialised with each other since the attack and their had been no previous hostility between them.
