Is this sentence real english ?

Real, but old fashioned. See this example from 1867.

''As soon as he laid his hand upon her arm she swung herself around, and half broke away from the officer's grasp,'' a reporter wrote. ''And as she did so she dealt him a sudden blow in the left side of the neck with a common pearl-handled, three-bladed knife, the blade severing the jugular vein.''
