The complainant sustained injuries to her left eye, head, and cheeks as a result of the severe assault. There were no vehicles on the road at the time of the incident.
The woman informed her daughter, who then contacted the Pettah police. The woman requested an ambulance, but the police refused to provide one, and her daughter eventually took her to a private hospital for treatment, she said.
