A young woman has revealed how she was the victim of an unprovoked and vicious attack in the early hours of the morning in Wolverhampton, leaving her unconscious.

Georgia Jennings, 20, was on her way home and at some point between 3am and 3.47am she was attacked out of the blue outside Asda Wolverhampton.

Writing about what happened on Facebook, Jennings says her attacker was a white male with short brown hair, wearing a white top and a black coat.

The photography student claims the man approached her from behind and punched her in the side of her head, knocking her to the floor and immediately unconscious in one hit.

“I fell full force to the floor, hitting my face and body off the concrete, causing damage to my face, head, teeth, hands and leg,” Jennings says.

When she came round, the man was gone and she still had all her possessions, but decided to call 999. Jennings spent eight hours in hospital where doctors saw to her injuries, but it’s the damage to her teeth that won’t be so easy to repair.

“After being given the all clear, my cuts, swelling and bruising will all heal, however the same can not be said for my teeth,” Jennings says. “Due to this man’s selfish actions I am going to have to go through the long, expensive process of having three of my teeth fixed and replaced.”

A GoFundMe page has now been set up to help raise money for her dental work.

But Jennings is not only suffering from physical damage but mental too - she has felt unable to return to Wolverhampton since the night of the attack.

“The result of this has left me extremely self conscious and afraid to leave the house,” the student says, adding that it was the second time she’d been attacked in less than a year.

Jennings is now urging people to be safe and take taxis home when it’s late rather than walking.

“I urge anyone who does or plans to walk home alone at night to rethink,” she implores. “It is not worth the risk. Unfortunately there are some people out there who do not care for others and are willing to inflict this pain.

“Please take the safer option and take a taxi. The cost of a taxi may seem expensive but it is not worth your life. I am counting myself lucky that the damage caused by my attack can be fixed, however the result of this could have been a lot more severe.”

Jennings is also calling on members of the public to get in touch if they have any information about the attack.

“This man is dangerous and needs to be found before he can do any more damage to anyone else,” she says.

Jennings uploaded pictures of herself before and after her night out to Facebook in the hope of adding impact to her message.

“They are gruesome I know, and it has been very hard to post these,” she says. “But if it stops another person from being the victim of a similar attack and changes their mind about walking alone at night it will be worth it.”
