"My partner ... he pulled my hair and I fell down while I was holding my baby. He's trying to make me get off the street ... I was holding my baby,I don't want to be[alone with him]. He's scaring me,"she allegedly told the operator when calling the police in a triple zero call made on December 6 last year and tendered in Manly Local Court on Tuesday.

But Ms Ivkovic backflipped on her police statement in court on Tuesday,saying she had misremembered what had occurred in the heat of the moment.
"When I fell,I thought he had grabbed myg air but then I realised he didn't grab my hair. He was just saying babe please come inside... everything started to make sense,"the former Miss Universe Australia finalist said.
"My grip on my emotions and myself wasn't quite there. I tried to reach out and explain I recalled things differently on three or four occasions.... I don't think there was any intent for me to be injured,especially while I was holding our very small child."
"I tried to tell them[police] that weekend,but nobody was taking my calls."
Ms Ivkovic told the court her new version of events was not a lie,and conceded that her fiancee did call her a"f------"when she asked if he'd like a spoon or a fork to eat his dinner.
Asked if Mr Walker had been violent before,she said he had been"aggressive"in the past.
In footage from a police body-worn camera,also played to the court on Tuesday,Mr Walker agreed the pair had an argument in their Dee Why apartment over his Sony PlayStation.
"She locked me out because she was pretty upset when I said I wanted to play PlayStation ... I just said can you talk to me ... and she's fallen over,"he said,adding he grabbed her left shoulder.

Mr Walker was arrested at the couple's home and taken to Manly police station,where he was charged with common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He has entered a plea of not guilty to both charges.
Three days after the alleged incident,Ms Ivkovic emailed Senior Constable Clare Scully and asked to retract her statement.
"I was hoping to do that this afternoon,"she said in her email.
Neighbour Lauren O'Sullivan took the stand on Tuesday and said she witnessed the alleged assault on Ms Ivkovic as she held the couple's son.
"I saw him yank her ponytail very hard and I saw her fall to the ground ... on the driveway of the house next door to their house,"Ms O'Sullivan said.
"It was enough for me to feel quite distressed. She fell. It was an awkward fall because she was holding an infant.
"She did a good job of protecting the baby,"she told the court.
Mr Walker told Ms O'Sullivan to"f--- off and mind your own business,"and asked her partner if he wanted"to go"when the couple asked Ms Ivkovic if she wanted to come into their home as she waited for the police,the court heard.
The hearing will return to court in May.
