A woman who left a man with serious injuries in a knife attack on the streets of Newcastle has been jailed for more than 12 years.
Julie McAllister and her partner Candice Tote went looking for the victim, later making various unsubstantiated allegations as to motive, including that he was trying to get Tote to work as a prostitute for him.
When they came upon him on Shields Road, Byker, McAllister launched a determined attack with a knife, leaving him close to death. She was also slashed across the stomach by the victim during the terrifying scenes, during which she was supported by Tote, who also had a knife but didn't use any violence.
