Sugababe's boyfriend: Attacker tried to hack off my head

Amelle Berrabah's fella Freddie Fuller describes horror of machete attack

Freddie Fuller, boyfriend of Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah, has described the terror of the machete attack that nearly killed him on Christmas Eve.

The former tree surgeon, 25, was left with huge gashes in his skull, right leg and hand, while his left arm and right thumb were almost severed.

'Amelle's been my rock throughout this ordeal - I love her more than ever,' he says.

Freddie was attacked in Aldershot, Hants after being followed by an unknown assailant.

'Something told me to look over my shoulder,' he tells the News Of The World from his hospital bed. 'I saw a silver blade flash past my eyes and on to my elbow.

'I looked down and saw my arm had almost been cut in half—I could see where the bones and tendons had been severed.'

The attacker continued to slash at Freddie who slipped on his own blood as he tried to run away. The blade kept coming, as he tried to dodge the blows.

'It was like a knife through butter,' he says. 'I feared it was going to behead me.

'Several times I saw the blade crash into the ground, just millimetres from my face.'

A woman's screams made the attacker flee and fuelled by adrenalin, Freddie - who had lost 4 pints of blood in multiple injuries - dragged himself to a nearby pub and was taken to Frimley Park Hospital where surgeons operated for 6 hours on Christmas Day.

He will take up to 2 years to recover.

'I watch every flicker of his eyes to see how he's doing,' says 23-year-old Amelle.

A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and released on police bail.
