A woman who was " dumped " slashed a man's wrist with a penknife and threw cola all over his car dashboard - despite him claiming they were just friends.
Laura Johnson, 19, also caused damage within the man's car after being told he had a girlfriend, a court heard.
Johnson had thought she was in a relationship with Thomas Dobson when he told her on October 27 that he had a girlfriend.
Jeremy Evans, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that Mr Dobson drove to Johnson's home and told her: "We are done."

Mr Dobson tried to pull her out of the vehicle and told her: "Get out of my car, Laura."
He felt pain to his wrist and Johnson cut him with a penknife, causing a superficial stab wound by grazing the skin.
Mr Dobson tried to drag her out of the car but she managed to scramble inside.
She used the penknife to slash the fabric at the base of the passenger seat and the dashboard above the glove box.
She "spitefully" poured cola on the dashboard and this dripped on to the radio.
Johnson admitted assaulting Mr Dobson, possessing a penknife as an offensive weapon and causing criminal damage.
She also claimed she may have caught him with the penknife accidentally.
