Jurors heard the Miss Universe finalist was pinned down by Lawrence, who punched and bit her on her legs, arm and shoulder.
Lawrence, 33, is also accused of threatening to stab Chloe and her new boyfriend Bora Guccuk, who had called the model during the alleged attack in October 2022.
Prosecutor Sheilagh Davies said: “He threatened to stab Chloe and Bora. He threatened that he would assault them and threatened all sorts of things.
“That made Bora concerned not only for his own safety but for Chloe’s as well.”
The Old Bailey was told Bora could hear the model screaming “help me, help me” before he managed to contact police.
Chloe then managed to escape to the Berkeley Hotel to meet her friend, Alexandra Ivanovic.
During her evidence, the influencer said: “I genuinely thought I’m going to die.”
Chloe later went to hospital where it was found one of the bite marks on her neck had “turned septic”, it was said.
Jurors heard a slew of messages were recovered from Lawrence’s phone that were sent just before the alleged assault.
He told her: ‘I’ll do everything in my power to f**k you up.
“You’re a lying little whore, you said you were coming to me an hour-and-a-half ago.”
The court was told the pair had been in a relationship for around six months between December 2021 and May 2022 but remained “on and off” after it ended.
Giving evidence, Chloe described their relationship as “narcissistic” adding: “You are addicted to the highs and lows. It is euphoric.”
She told the court she was left with six bite marks and as a result she needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics.
Chloe also described Lawrence as “crazy” and claimed he pursued her while she was at the Cannes film festival and in Mykonos with friends.
Whisky merchant Lawrence denies one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The trial continues.
