A WOMAN knifed her teen lover in the back with scissors in a savage attack after a drunken row.
Abbie Lucas, 30, had downed several bottles of wine in a “three to four day bender” before launching into the attack.

Her 19-year-old victim, who described their relationship as “friends with benefits” had stormed out of her home in Whitstable, Kent, after a row.
When he returned to pick up some belongings, Lucas scratched at his neck with her long acrylic nails.
The thug then stabbed her lover in the back with a pair of scissors – leaving a 6cm wound.
Lucas was discovered by police hiding in a stairwell in the basement while the teen was airlifted to hospital.
She told officers she had “blacked out” from her heavy drinking and claimed it if she had stabbed him, it would have been in self-defence.
Lucas has now been jailed for one year after she was convicted of wounding.
The court was told the attack took place on August 22 after the pair had been out in Herne Bay and Margate.
Lucas was heard being “loud and abusive” in a communal hallway before she began screaming.
The victim said when he went to investigate, Lucas grabbed his neck and pulled his hair.
He told the court he lashed out once with his hand in self-defence, describing the force as “just enough to get her off me”.
When he went to grab some clothing, Lucas “lunged” at him with the scissors and stabbed him in the back.
The teen said: “I didn’t know [I’d been stabbed] – I thought I had been punched – until I went into the other room.
“I genuinely thought I had been punched. It was not even that hard, that’s what’s crazy. I just walked off with my belongings and carried on.”
He said he only realised he’d been stabbed when one of his friends started screaming.
During her police interview, Lucas said: “I love that boy. I don’t know what the f*** happened and I wish I did.
“I just wish it never happened. The worst thing is I don’t remember it. That’s what’s so frustrating.”
Lucas denied wounding with intent as well as the alternative, less serious offence of unlawful wounding.
