A woman's heart 'sank' when she took a close look at a bruise on her leg.
Samantha was on a night out in Liverpool when she had a "scary" experience she described as "memory block", losing hours from her memory. She told the ECHO: "I've never felt this memory block ever in my life, where one minute I'm in the club and the next it's the next day."
The 26-year-old, who asked to only be identified by her first name, spotted a "purple and green" bruise on her leg the following morning. She said: "My first thought was, 'I must have fell or bumped into something'. Your first, initial thought is not someone violating you. You don't go to the worst case scenario. I glanced at the bruise and just put my clothes back on."
