KIMBERLY Smith was jogging through her local park in Brisbane when she was savagely beaten by two women.
Ms Smith described how she was running through a park in the suburb of Redbank Plains, in Brisbane’s southwest, when she was approached by two women — who she claims were of African descent.
The Queenslander claims that they were yelling abuse at her as she ran, so she decided to ask them what the issue was.
“They kept shouting at me, so I just asked them what their problem was. I didn’t hear them because I had earphones in.
“Then I just felt this pain and I vaguely remember being knocked to the floor. The next thing I remember is picking myself up off the ground and trying to find help.”
She told news.com.au she believes the attack was racially motivated.
Her family told 9 NEWS that the incident comes as tensions in the local community have heightened, resulting in some parks becoming “no-go zones”.
