She said she ignored them and sat elsewhere. She told the court that when she went to the bathroom she was attacked by the complainant who hit her in the mouth.

The complainant had a different story. She said the father of her child was not at the clinic. She said she was ambushed in the bathroom by Miller who grabbed her face, and when she tried to use her hands to push her off, her finger went into Miller's mouth and she bit her.

She said she had to get injections and medication for the injury. Miller was ordered to pay the complainant for her medical expenses.
