Teen attacked when checking into a emergency room

A 19-year-old woman checking into the Beaumont Dearborn emergency room on Feb. 10 was attacked by a man waiting in the lobby.

Security footage obtained by WDIV shows the attack (watch the above).

The victim was at the hospital thinking she broke her jaw in a fall on the ice earlier that day. She had no idea what was coming while she stood at the receptionist desk.

The attacker ran up from behind and punched her in the head and knocked her to the ground.

The victim is suing Beaumont Dearborn saying she will have emotional distress for years to come. The victim and her attorney also allege the attack may have been religiously motivated.
