Woman ‘hit soldiers for dancefloor antics’

A petite woman who punched two Coldstream Guards at a dinner dance today said they deserved it because of their bad behaviour.

Eight-stone Ashley Wolfe, who is 5ft 3in, admitted knocking one 6ft sergeant out cold with a left hook.

The martial arts expert was convicted in her absence last week of two common assaults after Greenwich magistrates' court heard she threw another sergeant into a sound system and also punched his wife.

An international warrant has been issued for her arrest. But the 24-year-old self-defence instructor from Hungary, who was wearing a red satin evening gown at the time, said she had been the victim as a brawl erupted on the dancefloor at Woolwich Barracks. Wolfe said she was disgusted by the soldiers as they kissed and simulated sex while dancing to the Britney Spears.

Wolfe told the Sun: "They were humping each other, grabbing their ties and whipping each other. It was totally inappropriate." She admits shoving Sgt Damian Holland but denies assaulting him or his wife, and claims she was punched first.
