This is the face of a mum-of-two who slashed the forehead of a man with her metal-tipped stiletto heel leaving him scarred for life.

Drunken Amy Sundve, 30, launched the unprovoked attack outside the Elm Tree pub in Kirkdale after going on a two-day bender to celebrate her birthday.

Liverpool Crown Court heard earlier his week how her victim suffered a cut artery and was left with a 7cm scar across his forehead.

Sundve, of Melling Road, Bootle, then attacked his girlfriend, scraping her left eye with the metal-tipped heel and badly injuring her shoulder in a struggle.

The court heard the single mum did not know she was already several weeks pregnant during the incident, which happened at around 2pm on May 22 this year.

Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, said she had a party the night before while her mum looked after her two young children and continued drinking on her own the next day.

He said Sundve was told to leave the pub by its manager because of her drunken behaviour.

But when the male victim went outside and asked her if she was okay “she became hysterical waving her arms around in the air and screeching. He described being hit once to the side of his forehead and remembered blood pouring down his face into his eyes”.

The court heard the victim’s girlfriend followed him outside and saw Sundve clutching her high heeled shoes by the toe and using the heel as a weapon.

When she shouted “what are you doing?” Sundve turned and swung at her.

The man was taken to hospital where he received one internal stitch and nine external stitches in his face.

Sundve later called police to report the attack and was only arrested as a result of the call as there was no CCTV at the pub.

She pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding and assault causing actual bodily harm.

Charlotte Pringle, defending, said her client was a young mum who rarely goes out drinking and “went too far”.

She said Sundve was deeply sorry for her “irresponsible and very reckless” actions, adding: “She is horrified by the injuries she caused.”

Sundve was jailed for 10 months meaning she will give birth to her third child in jail.

Judge Norman Wright said: “He will be left with a permanent scar on his forehead as a memento that will be with him for the rest of his life.

“It is the sort of thing people will look at and stare at. They will ask him ‘how did you get that?’ and he will be reminded of it.”

Judge Wright jailed Sundve for 10 months, meaning her baby will be born in prison. She shouted “oh no please, I can’t leave my kids” and broke down in tears in the dock.

The court heard her children will live with their nan.
