A MUM battered her boyfriend over the head with a crowbar — because he accidentally dropped a slice of pizza on the floor.

Kirsty Saccani, 31, brutally attacked Samuel Moorcroft when she saw the food fall off a table during a Bank Holiday night in.

Although he tried to apologise, Saccani began waving a kitchen knife at him saying: ''You'll get this in your throat.''

Afterwards when he tried to leave their home, in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Saccani grabbed the iron bar and bludgeoned Moorcroft's skull as he was walking out of the door.

He was later given eight stitches for a 6cm wound.

At Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, Saccani admitted causing grievous bodily harm but she escaped jail after Moorcroft filed a statement saying he did not want her to go to prison.

She claimed the iron bar was an "ornament".

The pair have now split up.

Although he tried to apologise, Saccani began waving a kitchen knife at him saying: ''You'll get this in your throat.''

The court heard Saccani and Moorcroft, who have a child together, had been in a relationship for five years but had frequent rows.

Darren Preston, prosecuting said: "Often the most trivial arguments would get completely out of hand."

On the night of the pizza incident, Preston said of Moorcroft: "He told her that he was not going to put up with her any more and went upstairs to get changed in order to leave the address.

"But as he went to leave, she stood in his way with a baseball bat in her hand.

"He wrestled the bat from her and put it down and then turned to go out of the front door.

"But as he turned away from her, she took hold of what the crown say was a crowbar and began swinging it at him and brought it down on top of his head.

"He immediately started to bleed and she threw a towel at him to clean himself up as he scrambled around for his van keys.

"He left and went to his mother’s house from where the police were called."

In a statement Moorcoft said: "She has made my life difficult over contact with our son, and I have suffered stress resulting me taking medication and losing weight.

"I don't want her to go to prison — I want her to be a good mother to our son — contact arrangements are now working at the moment.''

Saccani was given 18 months jail suspended for two years and was ordered to complete 150 hours unpaid work.
