She then stabbed him in the arm with a 6 inch knife, severing an artery in the process.<\/p>\n<p>After she left him bleeding out, he called for emergency help and was quickly rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery. He has since had additional surgery since that day, and even a year on he finds it hard to move his right hand.<\/p>\n<p>The attack took place in May last year, around 2 years after they started dating, meaning they got together in May 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Alan told police: \u201cThat day is a day I will never forget. I thought I might die.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try not to think about what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could she be so callous just walking past me as I was on the floor bleeding to death?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was lying on the lobby floor losing blood and getting weaker by the minute?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it was not for the quick response of police officers and paramedics I would not be here today. I will always be grateful to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still don\u2019t have feeling in my right, index and middle fingers and part of my thumb. I might have to have an operation on my hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scars will always be with me mentally and physically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have struggled financially and did not feel safe remaining in my own home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said the woman is lucky she isn\u2019t facing a murder charge after the attack, because things could have ended much worse for her victim.<\/p>\n<p>She was sentenced to 6 years in prison last year after admitting GBH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman in the UK has been jailed after she stabbed her boyfriend.
