Raging lifeguard, 24, punched, bit and strangled cheating boyfriend before driving over his phone in brutal attack
A RAGING lifeguard punched, bit and strangled her cheating boyfriend in a brutal attack.
Matilda Sutherland-Young also chucked Roderick Webster's phone out the window and drove over it during the ordeal.
Sutherland-Young then began punching her boyfriend before pulling his hair and choking him.
When Roderick held his hands up to defend himself, the attacker sank her teeth into his wrist before landing another blow on his eye.

Sutherland-Young beamed as she avoided jail after she admitted GBH, strangulation with intent and criminal damage.
The lifeguard was instead handed an 18-month community order after Judge Sarah Whitehouse KC said it was not a "classic case of domestic abuse".
She added: "You did this, I am satisfied, out of an overwhelming rush of emotion and sense of being betrayed by Mr Webster, and humiliation.
"You are plainly remorseful."
Highbury Magistrates' Court heard the horror unfolded on July 7 when Roderick told his partner he had kissed someone else on a work night out.
Prosecutor Emma Antonelli said: "She began to punch him with both hands all over his upper body. He placed his head down and raised both arms over his head.
"He said the punching was getting to him. He got a lot of bruises and was in pain.
"He said Ms Sutherland-Young pulled his hair and choked him with both her hands. He placed his hand around her wrist and tried to stop her. She then leaned forward and locked teeth onto his wrist and bit him.

Roderick managed to escape and was later treated for swelling to his left eye-socket, a scratch mark to his neck, a bite mark to his wrist and numbness to his left hand.
He also needed plastic surgery and had a metal plate inserted to fix a fractured cheek bone.
In a victim impact statement, Roderick said there is still scarring to his eye as he recalled the "incredible pain" he suffered.
He added: "I'm constantly reminded of the assault when I look in the mirror.
"While I'm glad she has been convicted, I do not think I will ever fully heal from this."
