Chloe Othen says she was punched in the head 30 times in an attack by Ricky Lawrence.
A model sustained injuries that turned "septic" after being bitten multiple times by her ex-partner, a court has heard.The prosecution said Mr Lawrence strangled Ms Othen and stopped her from leaving his flat in Knightsbridge, during an incident in October 2022.Prosecutor Sheilagh Davies told Nightingale Crown Court in Holborn: "As she got up to leave, Ricky Lawrence had grabbed her phone out of her hand and refused to give it back. He then lashed out and punched her.
The defendant provided a prepared statement to police in which he said he had "repeatedly asked Chloe to leave but she continued to shout and scream" and he had "sustained a lengthy scratch" along his abdomen, the court heard.Ms Othen went to A&E on 16 October, where her injuries were documented and it was shown one of the bite marks on her neck "turned septic".
Giving evidence in court, Ms Othen said she had been at an event during the day of 14 October and the defendant became "aggressive" by text, adding: "I thought I'd let him calm down and then go over there and see him.""Ricky was quite strange when I walked in. Within five, 10 minutes, I wanted to leave," she said.
Ms Othen said Mr Lawrence punched her "about 30 times" in the head and the ear for "about an hour and a half", after taking her phone away from her. She said he also pulled her "up and down from the kitchen to the bedroom" by her hair, before he took two kitchen knives and chased her round the dining room.The court heard she had a mild cauliflower ear, had to get her jaw unlocked as a result of the attack, and had to wear a neck brace from being strangled.Mr Lawrence, of Hans Crescent, Knightsbridge, west London, denied the charge and spoke only to confirm his name.
