The situation escalated quickly, and the attacker stabbed her in the stomach with a sharp weapon, leaving her seriously injured.
Hearing her screams, other joggers on the track rushed to her aid. Some caught the attacker and beat him before handing him over to the police. Meanwhile, another young man, who was reportedly involved in the attack, managed to escape.
