A 58-year-old housewife from Msida this morning pleaded not guilty of attacking and slightly injuring a local warden at 9.15 a.m.

Antoinette Fava was also charged with disobeying orders and breaching public peace.

The court heard that the woman was given a parking ticket by the warden. She admitted that she had parked illegally on a corner. An argument broke out between the warden and Ms Fava who, allegedly, pushed the warden and injuring her eye during the scuffle.

Defense lawyer Anglu Farrugia told the court that the incident was not as bad as the police had made it out to be.

Ms Fava was granted bail against a personal guarantee of €5,000.
