Teenage Girl Assaulted After Telling Guy She Isn't Interested

The 18-year-old, seen here, was out and about with her friend Kyle in the Gay Village of her hometown, Manchester, England. In the early morning hours of July 13th, something terrible happened.

Alliyah Morgan shared the brutal details in a Facebook post.

According to Alliyah, Gabrielle and Kyle were approached by a group of three men near Bloom Street at about 3:30 in the morning.

"[The attacker] punched [Gabrielle] once to the face unexpectedly and she instantly fell over and went unconscious," wrote Alliyah. The pictures shared of Walsh reveal just how violent the punch was.

Alliyah says that, after regaining consciousness, Gabrielle checked on her friend Kyle, who had also been attacked and was "bleeding heavily from the eye." It's a shocking account of a truly brutal attack.

"This attack was completely unprovoked as she simply told the guy she wasn't interested in him and as a result he did this," Alliyah bluntly explained. "My friend is now currently in the eye hospital waiting to get stitched in her eye."

Walsh told the Manchester Evening News that she had taken off her shoes when a guy wandered over and told her that he liked her feet.

But instead of taking the hint, the guy and two buddies proceeded to follow Gabrielle and Kyle, even though they were trying to distance themselves.

This prompted the man to point to Kyle and ask, "Who are you with, specky four eyes?" referring to Kyle's glasses.

"I was saying to Kyle, 'let's go'", Gabrielle said. "Then [the attacker] hit me — he fully knocked me out. When I woke up I was on the floor and the three of them had jumped on Kyle as well."

Volunteers from the Village Angels, a community safety partnership, gave them some first aid and offered to call an ambulance. The wait was too long, though, so Gabrielle took a taxi to the hospital.

They gave her some eye drops and sent her home. Later, she went back and they determined that she has a blood clot on the eye.

"It still can't really see out of it, when I open my eye all I see is yellow," she said.

The man who attacked the pair is described as 5 foot 8 and wearing a pink t-shirt. Horrified local business owners say they'll check CCTV footage to see if they can possibly identify the attacker. A witness has also come forward to confirm Gabrielle's story.

"Girls feel like they can't say no. They feel like if they say no, then they might hurt you — and in this case it was true," she said. "It's scared me, I'm scared to go out, I've always got to be with somebody."

No one likes being rejected, but everyone should be able to reject someone they're not interested in without becoming the victim of an assault.
