AN IRVINE woman is awaiting sentence after she "stabbed" and bit her partner following a "verbal altercation".
Lilly Ward left the man with three cuts following the attack at her home on Old Caley Road on January 20 last year.
The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to assault when she appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.
That was despite her boyfriend saying he "didn't want her done" when the incident took place.
Ward and her partner had been in a relationship for several years when the attack took place, the prosecution told the court.
On the day in question, police received 999 calls from the Irvine woman's address asking them to attend there.
The court heard that "numerous calls" were made with the sound of a "distressed female" heard in the background.
When officers arrived at the address, they saw Ward standing in the property's hallway with blood on her top. Police also noted blood to be trailed across the floor.
A stained towel and a knife with blood on its blade were also recovered from the kitchen area.
Her partner was seen holding his arm and said: “I have been stabbed but don’t want her done with anything. She stabbed me.”
He rejected medical attention but was later taken to hospital, where he was found to have two lacerations on his arm and another on his shoulder.
The court was told the male also had two bite marks on his arm, with a third located on his leg.
When speaking to officers, the man said his injuries had come as a result of a "verbal altercation" between himself and Ward.
She was subsequently arrested before being cautioned and charged, to which she made no reply.
Defending, solicitor Peter Murray asked for background reports to be prepared prior to sentencing.
He highlighted that Ward was a first offender and had no other matters outstanding.
Sheriff Murdoch Mactaggart agreed and deferred sentence to a later date. Ward was granted bail.
