Kirsty Gallacher calls for more police on streets after she was kicked 'like a football'
Kirsty Gallacher calls for increased police patrols in central London to address normalized violence against women after her assault remains unsolved, with the suspect's image still circulated.
- On Thursday, a central London assault left Gallacher saying a man, who has not been found, kicked her as she walked to her car. She praised police support and CCTV evidence.
- Speaking on UK Tonight, Gallacher said, `My biggest sadness or anger was there was not enough of a police presence. And we're in central London and I was looking everywhere, like I almost wanted to shout, 'please help me!'`
- Describing the assault, Gallacher said the attacker turned and kicked her with force like a football, police support was initially strong and CCTV was thought clear, but the attacker has evaded justice.
- The Met Police last contacted Gallacher at the end of December to say the investigation had been filed, but it will be reviewed if new evidence emerges.
- Gallacher called for a bigger police presence on the streets to make women feel safe, while a Met Police spokesperson told Sky News it was `committed to tackling all forms of violence against women and girls`.
