Teen attacked 'by thugs screaming "f***ing lesbian" in row over a tenner'

Shocking images show a teen girl covered in blood followed an alleged homophobic attack by a pair who screamed 'f****** lesbian' at her in the street.

Ellie-Mae Mulholland was taken to hospital following the harrowing ordeal yesterday afternoon which happened after she confronted “one of her friends” over £10 they owed her.

The two attackers allegedly beat the 18-year-old, calling her a ‘f***ing lesbian’ and saying ‘you and your girlfriend are going to get it ten times worse next time,' reports Hull Live.

Ellie-Mae, from Walsall Garth, Hull, has been left with a busted nose, two black-eyes and two big lumps on her head, according to sister Stevie-Leigh Ansell.

She said: “My younger sister was out and about on her way home from one of her friend’s house.

"She had seen a couple of her friends, who are usually her friends, and one of them owed her a tenner and Ellie asked about it.

“The lass said she never had it. Then they both beat her [Ellie-Mae] black and blue.

“Because she is gay they called her a ‘f***ing lesbian, you and your girlfriend are going to get it ten times worse next time’.

“She thought they were her friends. All this happened while she was on the phone to her mum."

Stevie-Leigh, 22, posted pictures on Facebook of the bloody injuries her sister suffered.

“Just by looking at her face they have had a really good go at her,” she said. “I think is absolutely ridiculous.

“I feel I cannot let this happen to my sister because she is gay. I just feel really helpless.

“It is not okay, regardless if she is gay or not, to do this to an 18-year-old. It is absolutely disgusting.

“This is something daft over a tenner and then all the gay stuff came out which I don’t see why it is such a problem.

“As soon as they have an argument it is straight to her being a lesbian. Because she smokes they won’t take her cigarettes off her because they say they will get lesbian germs."

Stevie-Leigh said the police had been informed of the attack and of the names of the alleged suspects.

She hoped anyone with more information will get in contact with the force on 101.
