This is the shocking moment a fake deliveryman was chased off by a knife-wielding woman - just seconds after trying to raid her multi-millionaire fiancé's home.
Paul Grimshaw, 31, was caught on CCTV trying to get into Nigel Blackburn's home in Hemington, Leicestershire, by posing as a deliveryman.
He asked the 56-year-old to sign a package, before knocking him to the ground and tasering his neck with a stun-gun.
But his plan was thwarted when Mr Blackburn's 29-year-old fiancée Pranne Rice charged at him with a kitchen knife - causing him to flee empty-handed.
Grimshaw, from Lancashire, has been jailed for eight years after admitting aggravated burglary and possessing a stun gun with intent to commit robbery at Leicester Crown Court.
The court heard that Miss Rice had answered the door to the 'deliveryman', who had insisted that her husband-to-be personally sign for the parcel.
Grimshaw had then attacked Mr Blackburn with a stun-gun - leaving him with a cut arm and facial and neck injuries.
On hearing the disturbance, Miss Rice and her friend Mornrat Sangyang had run out of the house armed with kitchen knives.
Their intervention caused Grimshaw to flee from the scene; however, he was later tracked down and arrested by police.
Speaking outside court, Mr Blackburn, who runs a successful jewellery business in Birmingham, said: 'Pranee stopped me from being killed.
'When the deliveryman suddenly stuck a stun-gun into my neck, the pain was excruciating.
'Pranee and Mornrat heard me yelling and came downstairs as fast as two horses bolting.
'They just grabbed some knives and charged straight at him, screaming at him to get out. He must have been terrified of them.'
He added that he has moved house and sold his car - featuring a distinctive personalised registration number plate - in the wake of the attack.
'Sadly, it has left a legacy of immense fear,' he said. 'My partner won’t sleep without a weapon next to the bed now.'
Miss Rice added: 'We just acted instinctively, without thinking. It was very frightening but we would do it again.'
Grimshaw told police had had been reluctantly recruited - under threat by a criminal gang - to enter Mr Blackburn's house, the court heard.

It's clear which head he was thinking with when he decided to marry her, but the fact that she also makes a good bodyguard is a bonus.

Well he was in a Thai restaurant and asked for Prawn rice and look what happened! My wife made the mistake of ordering Kao Phat.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
