A teen mum was left covered in blood in what she said was an unprovoked attack while collecting a takeaway.
Shocking pictures show the injuries Jade Grocott, 18, was left with from an assault which happened as she was picking up a pizza, the Mirror reported.
A man who Jade said she doesn't know was also reportedly attacked during the incident at the Stoke-on-Trent takeaway last Friday around 1am.
However, the takeaway has denied any knowledge of any violence, according to StokeOnTrent Live.
The business said two 'drunk' women were asked to leave the premises when they became hostile.
Photos show Jade's face dripping with blood from a gash to her eyebrow.
Police took her to the Royal Stoke University Hospital where she had five stitches before being discharged.
Jade said: "I'd gone in to order a pizza and while there I asked if I could go to the toilet but they said 'no'. I then waited at the side of the building before going back in to get my food.
"They slammed it down on the counter. I walked out but they followed me.
"Some lad was walking past at the same time and they started arguing with him. They pushed him to the ground and punched and kicked him.
"I went to challenge them when one of them turned around and hit me. At first I thought it was a punch but when I was in hospital I was told the injury had been caused by a sharp object.
"The lad got up off the floor and they chased him down the street. There was seven or eight of them.
"I walked off and got on to the police straight away. It was at that point that they closed the shop and drove off.
"By the time the police got there they were long gone."
Jade says the incident has left her too scared to leave her home.
She added: "Me and a female friend had just gone to the pub but we were too late for food so we thought we'd get a takeaway instead.
"I don't understand what happened. I have no idea who the other lad was, he was just walking past as far as I could tell. I don't know if they thought he was with me.
"I'm too scared to leave my home now. I've been struggling to sleep since it happened. I just hope they are caught."
The takeaway says two women - thought to be Jade and her friend - had been swearing inside the business. It says they appeared to be having a problem with the man who was later attacked.
A spokesperson for the takeaway said: "We just locked up and went home. If anything happened after that I'm not aware. We love our customers and have never had a bad reputation."
Staffordshire Police are aware of Jade's call.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said: "Police were called at 1.04am on Friday following reports of violence. Officers attended and a woman reported sustaining a facial injury following an altercation. She was conveyed to hospital for treatment."
