Woman beaten up in ‘unprovoked assault’
A woman whose head was stamped on and repeatedly smashed into railings says she wants justice for the unprovoked “brutal and frenzied” attack.
Natalie Moult was returning from a group night out in Stamford in the early hours of Sunday morning when she was brutally beaten by a stranger in the street.
The 37-year-old has now released pictures of her swollen and bloodied face in a plea to find her attacker.
The lawyer and a friend had caught a taxi to another friend’s house in Stamford after going for drinks in town. They were waiting for the others to arrive when they were approached by a woman at around 2.30am in the Banks Crescent area of Stamford.
Natalie said: “The few steps to the front door have a railing and I was next to the railing on the step. The attacker came towards me shouting abuse. I don’t remember the words exactly as I was shocked at the situation.
“Before I could get up or move she had put her hands through the railings and grabbed my hair.
“Pulling my hair she smashed my head into the railings repeatedly.
“As my face hit the railing I twisted to the floor and she stamped on my head. I held my hand up to protect my eyes and she then stamped on my hand.”
Natalie eventually managed to wiggle towards the front door, screaming for help, at which point three neighbours came to the pair’s aid.
She said she suffered swelling and bruising to her right eye and cheeks, bruising and swelling of her head and hand, cuts inside her mouth, a chipped tooth and missing hair, among other injuries.
Her friend was also badly beaten. Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph, Natalie added: “This entire situation has overwhelmed me, both physically and emotionally.
“This brute needs to be caught for others’ safety as well as my piece of mind. Someone out there must know afemale,early20s,brownhair, fringe, with a Liverpudlian accent that was out in Stamford on Saturday evening.”
Anyone with information should contact Lincolnshire Police quoting incident 77 of April 1.
