A NEWLYWED couple were left for dead after a savage attack by a machete-wielding mob on a housing estate.

Teresa Mciver, 50, and husband Neil suffered horrific injuries after up to 12 thugs armed with bats and an axe ambushed them at the Grange Estate, Grimsby.

Mum-of-two Teresa was left with head injuries, broken ribs and a punctured lung after intervening when Neil was set upon.

She said she still has flashbacks and nightmares about the sickening "carnage" in May this year.

Teresa, a dementia care worker, said: “At one point Neil was hit over the head and knocked to the floor and I thought he was dead.

"It was just carnage.

SICKENING INJURIES

“I think one of the neighbours must have called the emergency services and we were both rushed to hospital."

Teresa was left with broken ribs and a punctured lung and injuries to her face after the gang attack.

She was rushed back to hospital after it was found that her lung had actually collapsed.

Her husband needed 32 stitches in his head and plastic surgery on his hand.

The whole family have been left devastated after the attack, which happened six months after the couple were married.

My son and daughter were devastated. My mother also collapsed on the shoulder of my daughter and sobbed when she found out Teresa

She added: “My son and daughter were devastated. My mother also collapsed on the shoulder of my daughter and sobbed when she found out.

“My mum is 75 and has beat breast cancer and she completely broke down over what happened.

“It’s not been easy at all, I have nightmares and I wake up fighting and throwing punches."

Teresa said the couple were both struggling to sleep and had stepped up security at their house.

She added: “Neil has been left feeling so guilty as he said that he should have protected me, but I wasn’t going to step back and watch.



'HORRIFIC FEW MONTHS'

“The whole thing has been horrific these past few months, we can’t wait to have some answers.”

The couple's son, who did not wish to be named, said they were leaving a friend's house on The Grange estate just before 7pm, when they were "attacked from behind".

He said: "My mum and her partner were round at a friend's house on the Grange when they were confronted by this lad who started having a go at them.

"He quickly drove away after they stood up to him and they thought nothing more of it.

"Then as they were leaving the house, they were jumped from behind by this group with bats, machetes and even an axe."
