A new mother out on her first night out after giving birth was viciously slashed with a 'zombie knife' by a "berserk" stranger outside a pub. Lauren Foster, 23 was left "shaken" after Joshua Clow, 18 attacked her with the terrifying weapon outside a bar in Northwich last November, Manchester Evening News reports.
The young mum has been left with permanent scars across her back and arm and a four-inch deep wound, which required both external and internal stitches. The 23-year-old initially came into contact with Clow, from Wythenshawe, when he asked her and her pals where he could source some drugs as they stood outside the Revival Bar.
The girls told him to leave them alone and an argument broke out, ending in the thug being taken away by bouncers. But he stood by the front door until Lauren left the premises later that night. The teenager was caught on CCTV running towards Lauren with a 'zombie knife' after she left the bar, slashing her several times on her left arm and back.
