"The whole thing was traumatising," the unidentified victim said, adding that none of the bystanders came forward to help when the women were being pushed and their hair pulled by the attackers at the pub on Saturday.

"We were just having a good time and next you know people pulling your hair, hitting you and calling you names like prostitutes, whores...," the victim told a news channel.

"The last thing we want is to be spoken to like this and especially by hooligans who don't know what they are doing in the name of god," she said.
