A woman abused and threatened her girlfriend in a foul-mouthed rant on Valentine's Day.
Chelsea Bryan lost the plot with Teri Ann Laird in Paisley, Renfrewshire, on February 14 this year.
The 28-year-old shouted, swore, and made threats towards her, and demanded to know where she was going.
And she launched into the abusive tirade in front of an eight-year-old child.
The incident took place outside The Last Post pub and entrance to Paisley Gilmour Street train station, in the town's County Square.
Bryan, of Paisley, admitted a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive way when she appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court this week over the incident.
The charge she pleaded guilty to - breaking Section 38(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 - stated the offence was aggravated by involving abuse of her partner.
Bryan has two previous convictions for the same offence, and Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill deferred sentence for background reports to be prepared.
She said: "Given the nature of the charge and your previous convictions I'm going to call for a criminal justice social work report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment, which involves electronic monitoring.
"I will continue consideration of a Non-Harassment Order until the same date."
Bryan will learn her fate when she returns to the dock later this month.
