A brave mum has recounted the horrifying moment she was attacked by her partner - who smashed a solid glass ashtray into her face. Kate Scott, 41, was hit in the face with a ashtray causing three teeth to be knocked back and her upper lip to be cut in half "like a pizza cutter".
She had been watching TV in her bedroom when her partner came in and attacked her unprovoked. The hit was so violent her mouth filled with blood and she couldn't speak to call 999 for help. Her partner, Mark Forder, 56, ignored her pleas for an ambulance.
After a police investigation into the brutal domestic violence case, Forder was last week sentenced to 27 months jail time for grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent. Now Kate is speaking out to encourage other victims of domestic violence to "trust their gut" and leave dangerous situations like she wishes she had sooner.
