Cottaging: don't hit the help

Mrs Pound, 51, said: "I went in through the door of the men's and there were two men doing it. One of them swore at me. He then swung his arm back and smacked me in the mouth."
Mrs Pound, who ran off, said she received a cut to her lip, which she found particularly upsetting, as she had just had a facelift.
She said: "I have had a facelift to correct scars on my face and I don't really want any more scars."
