Woman is stabbed by robber, but first, she poses for a selfie still covered in bruises

Brave dental nurse Naomie Greenslade posed for a selfie with two of her friends as she awaited medics to stitch up two horrific knife wounds on her hip and leg. 

The 22-year-old dental nurse was walking home after a night out in Marrakesh, Morocco when a street robber tried to steal her bag which contained just 13p. 

Ms Greenslade refused to hand over the bag and was slashed with a butcher-type knife across her left hip and down her thigh.  The razor-sharp blade sliced through Ms Greenslade's skin, opening up a gash two inches wide and at least 12 inches long. 

Ms Greenslade, who volunteers with the Welsh Ambulance Service in her spare time, said she thought she was going to die when she saw the wound in her leg.

She said: 'I began feeling very faint and slumped to the floor. The guys took their tops off and wrapped my leg up tight - they kept me awake until the ambulance arrived.'

Ms Greenslade, from Bargoed, near Caerphilly, South Wales, is now resting after being released from hospital - but says she won't be coming home early.

She said: 'I came out here to work with orphans and I have managed to visit a baby centre despite my injuries.

 

Remarkably, Ms Greenslade said if she was in the same situation again she still wouldn't hand over her bag.

She said: 'I refused to give it to him. It had my phone in with all the irreplaceable pictures from my trip. There was no way I would hand it over.'
