A woman who had a "machete to her neck" while at work has been left with "severe" PTSD and unable to go near men.
Cassandra Tainsh, who lives in Beeston, says she was working at an EE store in Leeds on September 25, 2021 when she was held at gunpoint by four men in balaclavas. The men allegedly grabbed her hair, before throwing her on the ground, and breaking her ribs.
After the incident Cassandra left EE and now works as a reptile and invertebrate specialist in Sheffield. And while she is happy in her job, the terror has left the 29-year-old suffering with "daily" panic attacks, and nervousness around men.
