A 75-year-old woman has been left with a bleed on the brain after she was brutally attacked by a stranger outside her flat in Stockport.
The victim - who has thyroid and skin cancer - was left 'covered in blood from head to toe' after being set upon for her bag in the early hours of Saturday morning, her daughter said.
She said her mum 'could have died' if she had not been able to alert her neighbour, who then called the emergency services. The victim has chosen not to be named, but has bravely shared a picture of her horrific injuries in the hope that this will urge anyone with information to contact the police.
