Police said Hines was at the Hibiscus Crescent address on August 14 about 1am, drinking alcohol with several other people.

Her mother then turned up after visiting her son-in-law at a nearby house.

"On her arrival," police said, "the accused has walked up to the victim and punched her, her right hand clenched into a fist."

This struck the woman's left eye, causing immediate bruising and swelling and bleeding from a split eyelid.

"What the f--- you hitting me like that, Kayla?" she asked Hines, who replied: "What are you doing there at them fellas' place?"

Hines pushed her mother to the chest, causing her to fall to the concrete, suffering a bleeding graze to one elbow.

Police arrived at 1.55am and were met by Hines at the front door.

Hines was arrested and allowed to put on some clothes, but on leaving "became belligerent and argumentative".
