The Daily Mail has reported that a
16 year old school girl has set up a Facebook page to bring a gang of thugs who
violently assaulted her to book.
The attack took place while Amy
Maddison was walking home late last Thursday. She was assaulted by three men
who smashed her face against the wall, thereby leaving her with a swollen lip
and a bloody nose.
Amy decided to post the pictures
on her Facebook page, and it appears her efforts have started reaping results
as almost 1,000 people have shared them already.
She believes that awareness of
what she went through, she will help the Police to bring her attackers to book
as members of the public might provide useful information about the thugs.
“I'm angry and confused, but I'm also sympathetic as anybody
who does something like this must have nothing in their life,” she said.
Amy was on her way home last Thursday when the three men
started hulling insults on her, but her decision to ignore them may have
provoked them even further, and suddenly she felt hands grabbing her at her waist.
In the struggle that ensued, her face was smashed against the
wall, sending her crashing on the floor. The three man gang did not stop there
as they started kicking her as she lay motionless.
She was able to call her mother as soon as they eventually
left her. While speaking about the incident that happened, 16 year old Amy said:
“When I saw my blood, I thought it was going to be worse.
“They started to kick me. I burst into tears when I realised
I was just going to have to take it.”
After seeing the state her daughter was in, Wendy called the
Police and also took pictures of her injuries, which have now been seen by more
than 3,000 people.
Responding to the number of people that have seen the
pictures, Amy’s mother said: “I had no idea that it would get the response it
has.”
“This shouldn't happen to anyone, never mind a young
girl. She's 16, and as a parent you want to give her some independence,
but I just don't feel like I can let her walk home now.”
The Daily Mail further reports that detectives have taken
Amy's coat for DNA testing, and police have a description of all three
suspects.
The first is around 6ft 2in tall with a slim build. He wore
an orange and yellow hooded top and black tracksuit bottoms with stripes on the
lower half of the leg and white trainers.
The second man is also around 6ft 2in tall, with a slim build
and was dressed in dark trousers and a hooded top with white trainers.
The third is shorter with a slim build and was wearing a
purple and blue hooded top and black Adidas bottoms with stripes down the
leg.
