Olympic silver medallist shares gruesome injuries after metal pipe attack by homeless man

Volleyball player Kim Glass was left with shocking injuries after she was attacked by a homeless man with a metal pipe. The 37-year-old took to social media to share posts of her bloody nose and swollen black eye after being randomly assaulted in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 6’3 athlete was leaving a restaurant with her friend when she noticed the man acting in a strange manner and looked at her 'with some pretty hateful eyes’, before he proceeded to strike her in the face. She said: “The homeless man ran-up, he had something in his hand and he was on the other side of a car on the street.”

The Sports Illustrated model added she had been about to turn to her pal to say she thought there was something wrong with him and that he might hit a car. She continued: “Before I knew it, a big metal bolt, like a pipe, hit me... it happened so fast. He literally flung it from the street.”
