A jogger was stabbed, strangled and kicked between the legs during a terrifying attack while on an afternoon run.

Further details have emerged about the brutal assault on Susan Thompson, who was attacked with a rusty nail and “booted in the genitals” by a gang of four men and one woman.

The 48-year-old, who has lived in the area for around one year, is already looking to move house following the violent attack in Postley Road, Maidstone.

She said: “I was going for a jog around Postley Park and a man on his motorbike started doing rings around me and revving it up. I told him he shouldn’t have the bike in the park.”

Mrs Thompson managed to escape the motorcyclist but was confronted by his girlfriend just moments later.

The mother-of-one said: “As I got to the skate park a woman came up to me and said ‘don’t speak to my boyfriend’ and she ran for me.

"She pushed me and I smashed my head on the floor. She started attacking me and three men with her started kicking me. They spread my legs and started kicking me in the genitals. They stabbed me with something like a rusty nail.”

One suspect has been described as a white woman in her 20s with mousey brown hair in a ponytail. She had a small nose and blue eyes. She was wearing a V-neck T-shirt and Air Force One training shoes and had heavy make-up.

"I woke up the next day in a lot of pain and was aching. I had puncture wounds to my foot, hand and ankle" - Susan Thompson

The man riding the motorbike is described as skinny, 6ft 1in, with mousey brown hair combed towards the left, which was shorter on the back and sides. He was in his early 20s with a south London accent.

Mrs Thompson said: “I have lived here just over a year and I am now looking to leave. I just feel dreadful. I sing in a choir and now I can’t because they were strangling me during the attack.

“I woke up the next day in a lot of pain and was aching. I had puncture wounds to my foot, hand and ankle.”

The motorbike was purple at the front and yellow at the back. It was fitted with a large mudguard on the front and a smaller one on the back which had black and white detailing.

A third suspect is a skinny man of 5ft 8in, with brown eyes and dark brown hair with a distinct fringe which stopped at the eyebrows. The attack happened at 4.30pm on Monday, April 3.
