A pregnant woman says she is scared to return home as she claims a fellow resident physically attacked her. Zoe McBride says she was admitted to hospital after the violent incident on April 7, during which she claims the resident pulled her hair and banged her head against the wall several times in the communal area of the building where she lives in South Gloucestershire.
Ms McBride, who is 28 weeks pregnant, said she has been complaining about ongoing anti-social behaviour in the building owned by Bromford housing association since January. She says she requested a management transfer ‘multiple times’ and contacted South Gloucestershire Council but that she has not been offered any suitable alternative accommodation.
The mother-to-be said she was discharged from Southmead Hospital on April 12, and has since been temporarily staying with a friend as she is scared to return to her flat. Avon & Somerset Police says it is investigating an allegation of assault but CCTV and house-to-house enquiries were 'negative', although enquiries are continuing.
