A Newfoundland woman angry at her boyfriend because they were ejected from a Bryan Adams concert threw a pot of macaroni salad at him and then stabbed his face, a St. John's court has heard.
The 34-year-old woman was convicted of multiple charges after testifying last week that they were thrown out of Adams' July concert at Mile One Centre after getting into conflict with another fan.The man started taking pictures of her with his phone, so her boyfriend grabbed the phone and threw it, prompting security to remove them while Adams was still performing, she said.
"I kept saying, like, he ruined it, it's all his fault and he should've just kept his hands to himself, none of it would have happened," she testified in provincial court. "I was cursing a little bit. I was pretty angry about the situation." "It was one of those knives I use to peel potatoes. I decided to pick it up, I guess, to put a bit of fear because at this point I really wanted him out of my house and nothing seemed to be working. So when I picked it up my thought was basically maybe he'll get scared and leave," she said.
The boyfriend also testified, saying the stab wound to his face could have come from either of them during the altercation. Judge James Walsh said the woman and her boyfriend were trying to minimize the events to aid ongoing efforts to regain custody of their children.
