The warrant was issued when Karkadym failed to show, after she allegedly bit a cop when police were called to Tony Garnett's home.

The 23-year-old's attack was said to have ensued when she went to collect her belongings.

The Ukrainian refugee hit the headlines last year after getting together with love rat Tony.

The pair hooked up just ten days after he and his partner of ten years Lorna welcomed Karkadym into the home they shared with their two children in Bradford.

Lorna previously told The Sun on Sunday Karkadym would wear low-cut tops and makeup to impress Tony.

The mum said she was left feeling like the "third wheel" in her former relationship and "unwelcome in her own home".

Tony and Karkadym moved into a rented cottage in Bradford after he left Lorna and their kids.

The security guard dumped his new lover just months later.

Tony said the final straw came following an argument in September while celebrating his 30th birthday at their new love nest.

But the couple kept in touch and he even visited his ex in Ukraine after crossing the border from Poland.

After meeting her family near Lviv, Tony and Karkadym returned to Yorkshire in December to give things another go.

It appears the couple have split up once again, with Tony revealing in February their relationship was "complicated".

This came after the pair had an abuse-hurling fight, which the police were called to.
