A brave mum has revealed how she stood her ground against a gang of youths who were hell bent on causing

Ewa Soltysiak, 43, was heading home from doing her when a group of teenage girls stopped her, before hitting her over the head.

The mum-of-one explained they ‘hit her with objects’ when she bumped into them at a bus stop at around 8pm on Thursday night, while she was on her way home to her son.

She said: "I was coming back from the shops carrying my shopping. I was walking past a bus stop near Cameron Toll where a few adults were waiting for the bus but there was also a large group of girls on the street, teenagers dressed for a party.

"Some were standing on the pavement and some were in the middle of the road in a party mood. I wanted to walk past them and continue home. Suddenly one of them, a whole head bigger than me and heavier, around 80kg hit me in the head from behind. I turned to her and asked, 'what are you on about?'

"At the same time, other girls surrounded me pushing and hitting me in the head with various objects such as a handbag, and phone."

Quick-thinking Ewa told how she refused to back down and went for her phone in a bid to capture evidence.

She added: "I was walking backward because they continued to shout at me more and more insistently, swearing and waving objects.

"I threatened to turn on the recording on my phone and report them to the police. They automatically started covering their faces as they knew perfectly what to do in such a situation."

Her actions bought her a few moments and Ewa eventually managed to escape before the confrontation escalated further. She added: "The girls were really aggressive towards me and I was very afraid, especially since my young son was left alone at home and I had to get back to him at all costs.

"I suspect I would have been severely beaten by the angry girls if it wasn't for the fact a car suddenly stopped behind the bus stop. They were scared of the car and turned around, letting me go.

"I was completely shaken and in shock long after I got home. We as a society allow this kind of behaviour by burying our heads in the sand and doing nothing about it, pretending the problem doesn't exist."
