Tesco is investigating after a glass bottle fell through a woman's "inadequate" carrier bag and severed her Achilles tendon. Eve Weller, 26, claimed she was walking home from Tesco Metro in Plymouth when her plastic bag, which only contained one bottle of Lambrini, ripped.

The bottle shattered and a chunk of glass sliced into the back of her ankle, through her tendon and down to the bone.

Surgeons were able to re-attach the fibres - which connect muscle to a bone - but the mother-of-two has been left unable to walk.
