MUM THREW KNIFE AT MAN IN STREET

Second attack in five years

- By ADAM EVERETT

A MUM threw a knife at a man in the street after he “pinched her and asked her for sex”.

Angelika Struckaja twice hurled the weapon at her drinking companion, striking him in the leg with the blade, as their ill-fated get-together descended into violence.

The incident marked the second occasion on which she has assaulted a male with a knife, having stabbed her last victim in the back. But the mum to a four-year-old son burst into tears as she was freed from prison over the latest fracas.

Liverpool Crown Court heard the altercation erupted while Struckaja was drinking with the complainant, named on charge sheets as Erdzsan Sabulov, at her home on Aughton Road in Birkdale on April 29 this year. Struckaja, 29, would subsequently give an account to a probation officer in which she alleged he “pinched her and asked her for sex” before hitting her, causing her to fall into a television stand, when she declined his advances.
