Man stabbed ex's mum 22 times and tried to run her over with his car
A man stabbed his ex's mum in the street 22 times before trying to run the critically-injured 67-year-old over with his car.
The grandma's arm was partially-amputated during a sickening and unprovoked assault by cocaine and vodka-fuelled Michael Moon, but she managed to roll out of the way of the oncoming vehicle - despite laying stricken on the ground with grave and life-changing injuries and still having the eight-inch knife lodged in her shoulder. Carmel Ratcliffe only survived the attack thanks to vital treatment from a neighbour, who happened to be a recently retired paramedic.
This afternoon, Monday, Moon was jailed for 22 years after admitting attempted murder. The incident came after he blamed his victim for the breakdown of his relationship with her daughter and subsequent difficulties with child contact.
