The victim managed to enter a nearby pharmacy, where she poured water on herself and then was taken to Thriasio Hospital, where she is being treated in serious condition. She is in danger of losing sight in her left eye, but doctor Fotini Virvinitsou, who is monitoring her, said the 34-year-old's condition is improving.
According to the victim and eyewitnesses, the attack was carried out by a woman wearing a surgical mask and black clothes. Police have not yet identified the person responsible for the attack. They are investigating all possible motives, examining witnesses and videos from security cameras in the area. Experts say such crimes are premeditated and reveal hatred, personal differences and rage for revenge.
