A teenager has spoken of her horror after what was supposed to be a fun weekend at Leeds Festival turned into a nightmare as she was left unable to breathe" after being spiked.
Maria Mendes, 17, was in her tent in one of the campsites on Saturday, August 27, where she and friends enjoyed an alcoholic drink together before going into the main arena. The festival goer said after one alcoholic drink she drank water while watching the acts on stage - but then suddently "everything went black".
She said she was unable to breathe properly, stand up on her feet, was vomiting, and felt unwell and dizzy. Maria's friends took her to the Leeds Festival medical tent before she "had a four minute long seizure and almost died".
