A woman who was left fighting for her life after being shot during a standoff with police has appeared in court accused of threatening officers with a knife.
Sonia Price was seriously injured after she was hit by a bullet in her lower abdomen following the firearms discharge on the streets of Toxteth in July. She remained in hospital for months after suffering serious injuries but appeared at Sefton Magistrates’ Court earlier this week charged with threatening the officer, “G”, with a blade.
According to the charge, the 56 year old allegedly wielded a large kitchen knife at the officer at the corner of North Hill Street and Lothian Street on July 9, 2020.
