and live on Freeview channel 276
The 40-year-old victim, who suffered facial injuries in the Saturday-night incident, told police she had befriended a group of women at Maggie May’s on Trippett Lane in the early hours of the morning after going out on a Saturday night. It was 1.40am on Sunday, October 8 when violence flared.
South Yorkshire Police said in a statement: “The women then entered the toilets, where it is reported that the suspects turned on the victim, and one assaulted her, while the other suspect held the toilet door closed to prevent the victim leaving and other people coming in. The victim was able to lock herself in a cubicle and the suspects left the bathroom, but she was left with injuries to her face.”
