US actress Amber Heard has denied severing the tip of ex-husband Johnny Depp's finger during a violent argument, but has instead alleged he had thrown bottles at her "like grenades".
Key points:
Ms Heard has given evidence at London's High Court for a third day on behalf of the publishers of Britain's Sun newspaper, which Mr Depp is suing for libel after it labelled him a "wife beater" in a 2018 article.
The actress, who accuses the 57-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star of physical abuse on at least 14 occasions, was questioned about an incident in Australia in March 2015 when she said she was subjected to a three-day hostage ordeal.
Mr Depp said the tip of his finger was severed during an argument when Ms Heard, 34, threw a large vodka bottle which struck his hand.
She said she had taken a bottle from Mr Depp from which he was drinking and smashed it on the floor, prompting a furious response from him.
He picked up bottles and began to throw them.
'He often did things like that'
"He picked them up and started using them like grenades or bombs … throwing one after another in my direction."
She said he threw all the bottles within reach bar one.
Mr Depp's lawyer Eleanor Laws said Ms Heard's account that the actor had severed his finger by smashing a phone against a wall and then continued to assault her was a lie.
Ms Laws also accused Ms Heard of stubbing a cigarette out on Mr Depp's cheek.
"No, Johnny did it right in front of me. He often did things like that," she said.
The trial is set to conclude next week, although no ruling is expected immediately.
