A Dunedin teen who ripped chunks of hair from another woman’s scalp during a random street attack will spend three months on a curfew. Nikkita Harmani Solheim (19) appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday after admitting counts of assault and injuring with intent to injure. Solheim was walking down George St with two associates and the trio were described as “loud, aggressive and bumping into people”. The pair fell to the ground but it did not deter the defendant from landing further blows and ripping out the woman’s hair. Solheim’s first victim had been left covered in bruises and abrasions and she had lost “large chunks of hair”, the court heard.
