(Note: This article details distressing content). A doctor alleged to have been attacked by a fellow plastic surgeon has told a jury how he was stabbed by a “figure” in darkness outside his conservatory, and then clutched his abdomen to feel his intestines bulging out.

Graeme Perks was questioned on Tuesday by a KC appointed to avoid him being cross-examined by the defendant Peter Brooks, who denies attempted murder, attempted arson with intent to endanger life, and unlawful possession of a knife.
