GMP apologise for slow response after thug kicks woman's dog then breaks her jaw

A woman was left unconscious by a thug who attacked her dog then her in a vicious hate crime. Prison officer, Hayley Smith, believes she was beaten purely because she is gay.

She suffered two fractures to her jaw. But five days after reporting the assault to GMP no officer had been to see her, even though she had been able to take a picture on her phone of the culprit.

Today, after the Manchester Evening News contacted the force, GMP, sent out an officer to see Hayley. Hayley had taken her dog for a walk and was on Brookhouse Avenue, in Peel Green, Eccles, when the thug struck. She had never met the man before and did not know him. She was found, knocked out, by a paramedic who was in the area attending another incident.
