EXCLUSIVE Ukrainian refugee who ran off with her British lover before he dumped her fails to attend court ‘after biting a police officer when she went to fetch her belongings from his home’
The Ukrainian refugee dumped by her British lover after he left his partner and two children for her failed to turn up to court today where she was charged with assaulting a police officer.
Sofia Karkadym, 23, was due to appear before magistrates after she allegedly bit the officer as he tried to arrest her.
Karkadym had been at the home of her former lover, security guard Tony Garnett, in Bradford, West Yorkshire, where she was collecting her belongings when police were called to the property.
During an altercation, she allegedly bit a male police officer and she was charged with two counts of assault.
But Karkadym failed to attend Bradford magistrates court this afternoon and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Karkadym made headlines after running off with Mr Garnett ten days after she arrived at the the home he shared with his partner Lorna Garnett, 29.
She had fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Garnett and Ms Karkadym admitted that they were attracted to each other and moved out of the family home and in with his parents before finding a place to rent.
In the early stages of their fling, the pair were blissfully happy and even talked about marriage and spending the rest of their lives together.
But the romance turned cold after a series of arguments which he said were caused by her drinking strong beer and throwing temper tantrums.

Mr Garnett told MailOnline: ‘I want as little as possible to do with her. As far as I know, she arrived on Wednesday from Ukraine. She had come to collect her things from my place’
Karkadym admitted that she found the fact difficult that he could not have more children (he has had a vasectomy) and that he already had two kids with his ex-partner, who he regularly talked fondly about.
The couple had a fiery relationship, with both being arrested on separate occasions by police for possible breaches of the peace.
Karkadym flew back to the Ukraine last year, only for Mr Garrett to travel there and bring her back.
But three months ago the pair split for good and Karkadym returned to Ukraine.
She had returned to the UK to collect her things from Mr Garnett’s home when a row is believed to have broken out between the former couple.
At the magistrates court today Mr Garnett was seen outside, but there was no sign of Karkadym.
Mr Garnett told MailOnline: ‘I want as little as possible to do with her. As far as I know, she arrived on Wednesday from Ukraine. She had come to collect her things from my place.
‘I don’t know where she is now. I am not in touch with her that much because I have a new girlfriend now and I have moved on.’
