Natalia after the attack last December.

"I had a frontal and parietal cephalohematoma, a nasal fracture that caused me to undergo surgery, fractures to the face and teeth, and trauma to the whole body," the paper said. Natalia, a plastic surgeon. Clarín.

Before, the attacker had badaulted a 22-year-old girl. I was waiting for the group, stopping, answering a phone call, when that same shadow hit him a pineapple in the face. After the impact and the surprise, the young woman managed to shout at Natalia to prevent her. But the doctor did not listen to him. And he was beaten fiercely.

Three weeks after that December 15 in the evening in which he had met coworkers to dismiss the year, he still had no idea of ​​the aggressor nor the reasons for the beating.

As soon as he felt cured of his nasal fracture, he wanted to perform more surgeries. "In general, I think I'm fine, I can go out at night and lead a normal life, but the truth is that when I'm alone in the street at night with a man pedestrian crossing, I start looking everywhere and I'm scared. And if he throws me? And if they hit me again? And if he is the one who attacked me? It lasts a few seconds, but it's like a storm of thoughts, "he says. Then, this feeling fades, because I know that something like what happened must not happen again, but at the moment of fear, how can I understand that the probability is low? ", he thinks.

"It's strange how I feel now, after this time, many around me tell me that I managed to cross all this with integrity, that I crossed it and that it gives me joy. But I still do not know who attacked me, they investigate. At the time, the impact was important, but for now, there are not many answers, "said the 36-year-old woman. The prosecution said that it was necessary to investigate what had been obtained with the cameras and buildings of the city to determine the anthropometry of the attacker. but we still do not know. At the time, the first victim came to describe him as a man of 1.65 meters, with a padded beard, a black shirt and white pants, which was barefoot.

And the fear persists. Natalia says she always has the feeling of seeing the shadow of the man when he attacked her. "In general, I think I'm fine, I can go out at night and live a normal life, but the truth is that When I'm alone in the street at night with a man crossing the path, I start looking everywhere and I'm scared. And if he throws me? And if they hit me again? And if he is the one who attacked me? It lasts a few seconds, but it's like a storm of thoughts, "he says. Then, this feeling fades, because I know that something like what happened must not happen again, but in the moment of fear, The probability is low? "he said.

"The most difficult thing of all that has happened is that I do not know who it was.. Then I can cross it and it recognizes me, and it scares me, "he said.

A witness in fact said that the man had hit Natalia with his fists and knees, that he did not need any powerful object to attack me in that way, and that he had not stolen anything from him.

"Is something happening?" I do not know. Many women and men contacted me through social networks, in private, to tell me that the same thing had happened to them and that they had not reported what they were. Had gone through fear. this case has brought a lot to come to tell their stories, and at the same time it's a way to realize that society is violent"he thinks.

"I do not know if it's something that can be avoided because there were always people with problems who could attack others in the street. What I believe is that we should not close our eyes.You should conduct a thorough investigation, help these people and avoid other victims, "he added.
