The unidentified attacker, who escaped from the scene, was a tall, dark woman who climbed onto a truck Rehman was in, Hasan said. “This person managed to climb inside the truck and even managed to get close to my daughter. She then attacked her with a blunt object, hitting her twice on the back of the neck. Sherry fainted, and the attacker managed to escape,” she said.
