Young mum suffered severed artery in knife incident involving ex partner
A young mother suffered a severed artery in her hand when she grabbed at the knife her former partner was threatening her with, Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday.
The Bradford woman was left with permanent nerve damage when the blade sliced into her index finger as she tried to defend herself from 28-year-old Danny Thomas.
Thomas, of Burneston Gardens, Wibsey, Bradford, was sentenced on a link to Leeds Prison after he pleaded guilty to controlling behaviour and unlawful wounding.
Prosecutor Rupert Doswell said Thomas sent the woman hundreds of threatening and abusive messages when she ended their relationship.
