A noise row led to a woman assault and racially abuse neighbours and hurl a rock through their living room window.
Lucy Woodley, 20, repeatedly struck a woman and threatened to throw her into a wheelie bin when she complained about being woken by loud voices.
The simmering dispute later saw her twice smash windows and tell the neighbour's partner to “go back to your own ******* country”, Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard.
Jane Brewer, prosecuting, said: “The allegations stem from what can loosely be described as a neighbour dispute.
“Differences have occurred on a number of occasions when the defendant has been staying at the address of her mother.”

Woodley became confrontational and had repeatedly pushed the woman living in the flat below her mother on Poppy Street in Wymondham when she had complained about noise on January 25 last year.
The court heard it had left the victim ”scared to be in her own home”.
Further incidents on May 10 and 15 saw a window smashed and a rock thrown through the glass of her living room.
Woodley, who previously lived in Diss but has since moved to Sunderland, pleaded guilty to assault, racially motivated harassment and two counts of criminal damage.

James Landles, mitigating, said she had since “moved on and moved away”.
A “degree of friction” between her and her mother had led to the initial noise which had sparked the neighbour to complain in a doorstep confrontation that lasted almost 25 minutes, the court heard.
“It is not suggested it was a torrent of racial abuse, it was one comment,” said Mr Landles.
The later altercation had been in response to the victim having given her the middle finger at a bus stop, he added.
Magistrates fined her £158 and ordered she pay compensation of £150. They also imposed a 12 month restraining order preventing contact with the victim.
