Mum cries as she is freed from jail for throwing knife at man

Man had pinched her and asked for sex

- 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 drink-ing companion, striking him in the leg with the blade, as their ill-fated get together descended into violence.

The incident marked the sec-ond 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 Birk-dale on April 29 this year.

The 29-year-old would subse-quently give an account to a pro-bation officer during the prepara-tion of a pre-sentence report 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.

Having asked Mr Sabulov to leave, Christopher Hopkins, prosecuting, described how CCTV footage, captured by cam-eras on a property across the street, then showed him running away from her house.

Stuckaja, clad in pink clothing, was thereafter seen to throw a knife at him before picking it up from the ground and hurling it towards him for a second time.
