Student punched in the face at Notting Hill Carnival



Mary Brandon (pictured, left, before the attack) said she was enjoying the festivities in Westbourne Park Road, West London, with friends on Monday when a strange man in the crowd grabbed her backside.
When he ignored her pleas for him to stop, she said she pushed him away – but instead of leaving he punched her hard in the face. Horrified passers-by called paramedics and she was taken to hospital where she spent nine hours being treated for a battered eye socket. Yesterday Miss Brandon uploaded photographs of her injuries (right) to the internet to raise awareness of violence towards women.
