I fought back, but I have extensions on my nails so I broke four of my own nails and bled while I was punching him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: &#8220;At 7.41pm on Friday 3 May we responded to reports of a racially aggravated assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is reported that an unknown man racially abused a 21-year-old woman at Cathedral tram stop in Sheffield City Centre.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim said the incident has had an impact on her mental health and that she needed to meet with her therapist and psychiatrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cBecause I have severe depression, I had a panic attack after this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were people standing all around me, but no one gave me any help, everyone turned a blind eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was traumatised by this awful experience, but no support was offered to me afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI will now avoid going out at night and going out by myself, if this happens to anyone else, I don\u2019t recommend fighting back if you&#8217;re a girl on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 34 incidents which took place in the same area in March were reported to South Yorkshire Police, seven of which were anti-social behaviour related, according to statistics from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.police.uk\/pu\/your-area\/south-yorkshire-police\/sheffield-city-centre\/?yourlocalpolicingteam=about-us&amp;tab=crimemap\">Police UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the South Yorkshire Police <a href=\"https:\/\/southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk\/openness\/5840-2\/police-recorded-crime-in-south-yorkshire\/hate-crime-in-south-yorkshire\/\">website<\/a>, there were 4,366 hate crimes cases reported last year, racially motivated hate crimes accounted for 66% of the total recorded hate crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 914 of 3 May 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 21 year old woman had allegedly been a victim of a racially aggravated attack in Sheffield city centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":608,"featured_media":60556,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27,82],"tags":[57,38,60],"class_list":["post-60521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-top-story","tag-crime","tag-sheffield","tag-south-yorkshire-police"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Woman injured in &#039;racially aggravated&#039;
