Woman with nose bitten off is jailed after threatening Uber driver with syringe
A woman given the cruel nickname of 'Miss Piggy' after her nose was bitten off has now been jailed for threatening to stab an Uber driver with a dirty syringe.
Louise Dean, 43, jumped into Mohammed Dara's stationary Uber at 2.45am on December 1, 2019.
The Salford resident has now been jailed for three years and nine months at Manchester Crown Court after admitting to robbery.
Dean made "stabbing motions" towards Dara and "began to threaten him again with the syringe". She then ordered him to hand over his cash.
The convicted criminal fled with his watch and £30 of cash and later falsely claimed that Dara owed her money for a sexual liaison.

Following the incident, Dara completed his next fare to Warrington, but subsequently reported the matter to the police and the trip was his last ever fare.
James Worsford, prosecuting said: "He was about to collect his final fare when he noticed the defendant's car parked up behind his in the street and then saw her get out and walk towards him.
"She opened the door and got in the victim's stationary vehicle despite his protestations that he already had a pre-arranged booking and that she had to get out. Once in the car she pulled a syringe and started making stabbing motions towards the victim. The victim noticed that the syringe had a metal tip and was dirty. She threatened to stab him if he did not pay her money."
The attack on Dara occurred as the victim finished a seven-hour shift.
Worsford added: "The victim managed to get out of his vehicle and initially she remained inside, looking for his earnings. But she then stepped outside the car and started to chase the defendant around the car.
''The victim suffers from restricted mobility due to his asthma and replacement hip and so was quickly caught up by the defendant. During the chase, the victim's watch came loose and dropped to the floor. It was quickly taken by the defendant."
Dean has five offences on her record including a conviction for affray in 2018 in which she served an eight-month prison sentence.
In mitigation, her counsel, Thomas James, said: "In 2021 Ms Dean was subject to a brutal attack by another female, who bit her nose off and was left with permanent facial disfigurement. Her family situation has collapsed and she is no longer welcome among them. Her estrangement meant she has lived in various hostels and temporary accommodation."

Last year, mum of three Claire Bold, 38, was sentenced to six years for biting off Dean's nose. The judge called the act "animal savagery."
Since, Dean has claimed she had experienced suicidal thoughts and that people stared at her in the street and called her 'Miss Piggy'.
James continued: "She is currently taking medication for depression and is diagnosed with anxiety. She has suffered much trauma in her life. She doesn't' recall much from the incident that night although she is very upset to hear about what has happened to the victim and feels remorse."
Judge Potter acknowledge that Dean lives a "chaotic lifestyle", but added: "You may express remorse now but in your police interview you told a shocking disgraceful pack of lies designed to further demean your victim."
Dean has five offences on her record, including a conviction for affray from 2018. She served an eight-month prison sentence for the crime.
