An unprecedented incident occurred on Friday afternoon (10.8.2024) on a street in Heraklion, when a couple was severely attacked by an unknown man, who, after photographing the private parts of a 25-year-old woman, then hit her with a motorcycle and dragged her along a main road for 20 measure.

It all happened on Friday afternoon, as reported by cretalive.gr, when a 25-year-old girl and her partner wanted to eat something after swimming at the beach. The two got on the motorcycle and suddenly the girl’s partner realized that a driver of a motorcycle behind them was secretly taking pictures of them.

The couple stopped and demanded the driver show them what pictures he was taking. Detectives discovered that the man, who was burly with a beard and wearing a black helmet, was photographing the backside of the girl, who was wearing a swimsuit, as she returned from the beach.

Annoyed, the girl demanded the driver to unlock his mobile phone to delete the photos in front of her as she had no right.

Nightmare

The driver then grabbed the girl’s cellphone and tried to leave with the motorbike: “He hit the gas and instead of turning to his right to avoid me and move on, he headed towards me and hit me with intent. I lost my balance and reflexively in order not to fall, I held on to the grill – handle on the back of the bike, as a result of which it dragged me on the road, at a distance of about 20 meters. Due to the shock, I didn’t understand what was happening. I was yelling to him “stop, stop, I’m in pain” and he was telling me “let go of the engine” and he had full throttle, to force me to let go of the handle,” the girl described to cretalive.gr.

The girl eventually left the grill and found herself in the middle of the roadway, dazed and injured. “Cars were passing and there was a risk of injuring me. The unknown man hit me with the motorcycle, dragged me about 20 meters and abandoned me.”

The 25-year-old gave a statement to the Port Authority of Heraklion, which is conducting the preliminary investigation, while today she is expected to be examined by a medical examiner as her body is full of wounds from being dragged on the road.
