Skindred singer Benji Webbe and his girlfriend Julie were recently attacked while walking home in Newport, UK. Now, according to Metal Hammer, two women have been arrested in connection to the crime, including a 40-year-old woman, who was arrested fro assault and a 29-year-old, who was arrested for affray and criminal damage.
Webbe told Wales Online the following about the incident:
“I went outside with my girlfriend, Julie, and I saw about three or four girls arguing. As we went past them I tried to calm them down and said, ‘Calm down will you,’ jokingly.”
“One of the women turned to me and came within four inches of my face, screaming and shouting.”
He said the woman had fallen over and her glass had smashed and added: “She got up and all hell broke loose.”
“The cut was about two inches from my jugular vein. At first I didn’t realise the seriousness of the damage. I could have not been here today.”
“This has left me feeling that life is short and you never know what’s coming. I have forgiven the person who did this to me and have no hatred towards them.”
