Beauty’s face smashed in horror attack
Amy left in ‘pool of blood’ following sick attack on night out
A YOUNG woman was left battered and bruised after a savage attack on a night out.
Amy Curtis ended up with a broken nose, cheekbone and a fractured eye socket, as well as three cuts to her head after the assault.
The 26-year-old claims she was attacked by one man and two women in the early hours of August 11 in Tallaght, South Dublin.
She told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “I was out with my cousin in a bar and we decided, ‘Oh let’s go for a dance’ so we decided to go over to a bar.
“I’d say we were there around three-quarters of an hour and I bumped into a bloke on my way to the toilet and I said, ‘Oh sorry’ and he said, ‘Watch where you’re going ye tramp’.
“A bouncer came over to us saying, ‘Separate or you will have to leave’.
“Thirty minutes later I went for a cigarette and the same bloke was out there and started being rude to me again so I began to argue back.
“Then his girlfriend came over and saw us arguing and attacked me.
“Then I felt something hit me in the back of the head, I heard glass break, the bouncer brought me outside to have a look at my head and said, ‘This needs stitches’.
“I had to walk to the hospital and then on the way we ran into the same people from the bar. They began to shout at me and then I was getting kicks to the face and head. The group ran off shouting abuse while I was in a pool of blood.
“Garda were on patrol and came across me and rang me an ambulance.
“I had a broken eye socket, fractured cheek bone and broken nose and when the doctor said you could possibly need surgery I broke down.
“I also have three lacerations to my head.”
Since the attack last month, Amy has had to take time off work from her shop assistant job and has been struggling to sleep.
She added: “I had to leave my job in fear of my life, I am suffering from panic attacks and am just so angry at that night.
“My doctor has put me on antidepressants to help me sleep because I’m not coping over the whole thing.”
Gardai confirmed they are investigating the incident but no arrests have been made.
A spokesman said: “Gardai in Tallaght are investigating an assault that occurred on the High Street area of Dublin 24 on August 11 at approximately 2.30am.”
