Libby Armstrong posted photos of herself on Snapchat, after running off with the top of Toni Lough’s finger following an ‘unprovoked’ attack. A vile attacker posed for pictures with a 31-year-old mother’s fingertip in her mouth after biting him in a nightclub toilet.
Police later arrested the attacker, but were unable to retrieve Ms Lough’s finger in time to reattach it. Armstrong has now been jailed for four years, after admitting to wounding with intent at Newcastle Crown Court, in a sentence described as a “disgrace” by Ms Lough.

Libby Armstrong Assaulted Toni Lough in a nightclub toilet before attack
“Libby launched a completely unprovoked attack in the toilets,” Lough said. She then followed me outside and gritted her teeth on my finger as she yelled at him to stop. ‘I felt a crack and I could feel her biting into her bone. It was agony. She ripped my finger off hers and ran away with it in her mouth.
“I looked down to see that I was missing the top of her ring finger and was bleeding to death in the street. “I was in a lot of pain and my hand had to be iced while mobs of emergency workers desperately searched for the missing finger but couldn’t find it.”
After running off with Ms. Lough’s finger, Libby posed for a photo with it in her mouth and posted it on Snapchat. Ms Lough was horrified when a friend of hers sent her the vile Snapchat photo after seeing it online.
“My friend saw it online and sent it to me asking if he was mine,” Lough said. I instantly knew it was my finger from the shape and the nail. It was horrible.’ The brutal incident saw Ms. Lough hospitalized for three days, during which time she underwent surgery on her finger to help it heal.
Unfortunately, she could not be reattached as the police were unable to retrieve it in time from her sick attacker of hers. Ms. Lough was left with a bruised hip, cuts on her knees and post-traumatic stress disorder and she was forced to leave her job as a sandwich maker due to her injuries.

He also had to move out of his house after Libby threatened to burn down his house in revenge after he reported her to the police. Ms. Lough added: ‘I don’t get out of my house much now. I had to stay at my mother’s house for six weeks after the incident, as the police had found evidence that Libby was threatening to burn down my house.
“They had to install additional smoke detectors and put a padlock on the mailbox to prevent her from setting the place on fire. ‘Eventually, I had to move house because of the ordeal. My finger is still healing and I have to wear gloves around the house as it is sensitive to cold.
“The injury is on my ring finger, so if I ever got engaged or married, I couldn’t bear to look at it. It is a constant reminder of what happened. Armstrong, of Shearwater Close, Newcastle, admitted to wounding with intent at Newcastle Crown Court. Armstrong had a suspended sentence for assaulting emergency workers at the time of his attack at the nightclub and has a prior conviction for carrying a hammer.
Mr. Recorder David Brooke KC sentenced Armstrong to four years behind bars for the attack and a further 12 weeks for breach of suspended sentence at Newcastle Crown Court. Ms. Lough, however, criticized the sentence as too lenient, as she called the four-year prison sentence handed down to her attacker a “disgrace”.
She said: ‘Four years is a shame. She has a history of being violent and should have been locked up longer. ‘She’s a vulture, she kept my finger as a sick trophy after violently attacking me.’
Matthew Purves, defending, said Armstrong accepts that his behavior was “terrible” and acknowledges the lasting consequences of it. Mr. Purves added: “She expresses through me genuine remorse and apologizes for the behavior and the consequences the complainant continues to suffer and deal with.”
