Update on the gruesome attack on a woman in an ATM in Bengaluru. Doctors treating her say she has a skull fracture, brain injuries and the right side of her body is paralyzed. A shard of bone is lodged in her brain.

The 38-year-old woman bank official was attacked with meat cleaver by a man in an ATM kiosk in the heart of the city, leaving her in a pool of blood with severe head injuries on Tuesday.

As the woman entered the unguarded kiosk at 7 am to withdraw money before going to work office for the morning shift, the assailant, carrying a shoulder bag, closely followed her inside and pulled down the shutter before threatening and attacking her, the police said.

The victim raised an alarm, but was threatened not to do so by the assailant who then took out what looked like a pistol from his bag, as seen in the CCTV footage and later shoved her down and hit her repeatedly with a machete as she resisted.
