A BRITISH man remains critically ill today after being stabbed through the eye with a stiletto heel last weekend.
Gavin Taylor, 28, suffered a severe head injury in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is believed he was in a taxi with a female passenger after a night out when the incident occurred, The Sun reports.
Staci Hargreaves, 33, was charged Tuesday with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, an offence which carries a possible life sentence.
It is alleged she used one of her needle-edged stiletto heeled shoes to stab Taylor in the face.
The pointed heel was thought to have pierced his eye, passed through his eye socket and touched his brain.
Taylor, from Cheshire, northern England, was rushed to a local hospital where he was treated before being transferred to a specialist ward in Leeds, Yorkshire.
A police spokesman said: "Police received reports of a serious assault which occurred in a vehicle travelling through Huddersfield town centre.

It’s obviously time for England to outlaw high heels!
Sounds like the “Single White Female” movie.
You could say he looked into her sole and didn’t like what he saw.
I’d still hit it.
Stiletto - Billy Joel
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don’t have strength to leave
You’ve been bought, you’ve been sold
You’ve been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin’,
With your insides bleedin’,
‘Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she wants forgiveness
It’s such a clever masquerade
She’s so good with her stiletto
You don’t even see the blade
She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep,
She’s got so much skill
She’s so fascinating that you’re still there waiting
When she comes back for the kill
You’ve been slashed in the face
You’ve been left there to bleed
You want to run away
But you know you’re gonna stay
‘Cause she gives you what you need
Then she says she wants affection
While she searches for the vein
She’s so good with her stiletto
You don’t really mind the pain
She cuts you out, she cuts you down
She carves up your life
But you won’t do nothng
As she keeps on cutting
‘Cause you know you love the knife
You’ve been bought, you’ve been sold
You’ve been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin’
With your insides bleedin’
‘Cause you deep down want some more
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She’s so good with her stiletto,
You don’t really mind the pain
Self defense from possible date rape?
That is really funny!!! LOL! LOL!
Don't they mean "needle-sharp"? or "razor-edged"?
The "edge of a needle" makes no sense.
Great journalism..... NOT.
Interesting case - the woman could have been justifiably acting in self-defense - it could all all turn on the cabbie’s reporting of the event. Wonder if the cabbie speaks English or if he comes from a country where a woman who’s not covered in a burka is “asking for it.”
Just dam*. Goes to show you should never do anything to pi$$ off a woman who’s wearing stiletto heels!
Hit what?

thank you for the education
Whatchya got?
She was obviously a well- heeled woman.
All I could think of was “American Maid” from the cartoon “The Tick”
not guilty
You have spoken rashly. Definitely guilty and must be, ah, punished.
How horrific... the poor man. Prayers going up.
