A Florida man was accused of attacking a woman who was walking her dog near a downtown area, leaving her with serious facial injuries that reportedly required extensive medical treatment.
According to the authorities, a witness heard the woman screaming and rushed toward the scene. The bystander reportedly intervened and managed to pull the attacker away from the victim, giving both of them a chance to escape and contact emergency responders.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The authorities said she suffered a broken orbital socket, deep cuts to her nose that required stitches, and permanent facial disfigurement. A witness later told local media the victim’s face was covered in blood when help arrived.
