“This coward attacked such an innocent girl. He even dragged her to the ground prior to the hit and slammed her up the wall.
“After doing that, when she wasn’t looking, he then smacked her, leaving her unconscious.
“The woman he was with was continuously attempting to assault her, even attacking her when the man dragged her to the floor.”
He said the attack, in Nottingham, was unprovoked and the pair ran off afterwards.
