In the Tepebaşı district of Eskişehir, 19-year-old university student Hiranur Dereli was punched by a person she did not know while walking on the street. The suspect, who attempted to flee after the incident in Tunalı Neighborhood's Sıhhiye Square, was caught and taken into custody by police teams in a short time.
It was learned that Dereli, who was injured in the incident, is in good health. Police teams are continuing their investigation into the incident.
DESCRIBED THE MOMENT OF THE ATTACK
Anadolu University Political Science student Hiranur Dereli said she left her home around 09:00 in the morning and set out to go to the university's swimming pool. Stating that she was attacked while crossing the street at a point where the tram line and vehicle road are located, Dereli said, "A punch landed on my head and I was thrown about 1 meter forward, toward the ground."
Dereli stated that the attacker came running without saying anything to her, and that she could not understand what was happening due to the shock of the incident. Explaining that her glasses were thrown off during the fall and her headphones hurt her ear, Dereli said that people around ran to help after hearing others shouting.
Stating that there is swelling in various parts of her body, Dereli said, "Currently, my arm, head, and eye are swollen; I can barely open my eye and my hip is also swollen."
Expressing that the attack also victimized her during the exam process, Dereli said she was preparing for the KPSS but might not be able to take the exam because she fell on the arm she uses to write. Dereli stated that she wants the attacker to be punished, adding that it is unacceptable for a stranger to attack someone walking on the street.
Allegedly, before attacking Dereli, the suspect tried to stop vehicles in traffic and also attacked some citizens in front of an ATM. The suspect, who is also claimed to have damaged surrounding vehicles, is currently undergoing processing at the police station.
