When her sister Tilly heard her screams for help she put her life on the line and rushed in to defend her.
'He tried to go at me a couple of times but I wasn't just going to leave her there,' she said trying to hold back tears.
Ms Witek was rushed to hospital with a punctured lung and a broken rib and back while her ex-boyfriend was charged with attempted murder.
However his charge would later be downgraded to to intentionally causing serious harm and he was given a jail sentence of just 18 months.
