GIRL FOUGHT MAN
AN ATTACK IN STREET
BROKEN BCTTLE AS WEAPON
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. A man who attacked a Waac corporal in a Christchurch street last evening ran into a packet of real trouble. The girl left the tram at the foot of the Cashmere Hills and was going down Cashmere Road when the man knocked her over. The girl was carrying a botUe of medicine at the time, and this broke in her fall. With great presence of mind she retained the broken top of the bottle and beat off the assailant, cutting him on the face and hands. She escaped uninjured except for bruises and shock, btit her clothes were covered in the blood of the attacker. Detectives now await information concerning any person suffering from disfiguring cuts.
