An incident in which a woman was attacked and beaten severely by an unknown man is being investigated by the Police. The offence of grievous bodily harm was reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) by an anonymous caller.
Reports say the woman was walking on Market Street, in the vicinity of the George Hourani Store, at about 7 a.m. on May 23, when she was attacked from behind.
It is alleged that a man kicked her to the ground; and, while she was lying there, he continued to kick and stomp her about the body.
As a result, she was wounded above the left eye and was later transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by the Emergency Medical Service. Doctors there determined that the victim had sustained a fractured nose. She was treated, discharged and referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist at the Villa Polyclinic.
The perpetrator is said to have been wearing a long-sleeved pink shirt, long black pants, and a pair of black water boots, and sported dreadlocks.
The Police carried out an initial search for the suspect, but without success. (Real News)
