A drunken woman flouted lockdown measures to attack her ex-lover in his luxury apartment and whip his flatmate with a belt 15 times, a court heard.
Deka Ahmed, 41, allegedly assaulted Silvestrs Rullis before turning on his friend Raivis Melders when he intervened during the incident in Harrington Gardens, south Kensington on 15 April.
Mr Rullis invited Ahmed round and the couple had several drinks before the mood turned sour, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.
Mr Melders rushed to help when Ahmed began striking Mr Rullis and smashed a glass cabinet in her rage, it was said. She then whipped Mr Melders with her belt, it is claimed.
The court heard Ahmed and Mr Rullis had previously been in a relationship.
Prosecutor David Burns said: ‘He invited her to attend. They had some drinks but an argument ensued in which she assaulted him by hitting him and the cabinet was smashed.
‘At this point the second gentleman, a flatmate I believe, intervened in relation to the argument and in response Ms Ahmed hit him around 15 times with a belt.’
Julian Young, defending, said Mr Rullis had refused to let Ahmed go when she told him she wanted to leave.

Mr Young said: ‘They had a relationship in the past. It would appear on the statement that she may have been intoxicated. She says when she wanted to leave he wouldn’t let her leave.
‘If he’s worried about Ahmed it’s strange he contacted her. Certainly he initiated this contact.’
District Judge Michael Snow released Ahmed on bail ahead of a further hearing at the same court on 2 June.
Ahmed, of Tamworth Street, Kensington, denies criminal damage and two counts of assault by beating.
