The victim told South Leeds Life:

“This incident has really shook me up. I am very wary of going out by my self after the attack, I am in a lot of pain from the incident. I am a self employed woodwork tutor and teach adults with learning disabilities basic woodwork skills and I not able to work for a few weeks until I have made a full recovery. I would like to thank all the emergency services for everything they did for me, the staff at the LGI A&E were fantastic.”
