A woman has told a jury of the harrowing ordeal she went through before being left for dead on a Dome Valley road north of Auckland.
She was just 19 years old when she was brutally attacked on two separate occasions last year and says she can remember how the accused tried to kill her.

She was working as a prostitute in Auckland last April when she was first attacked. Today in Auckland High Court, she saw pictures of her injuries for the first time.
She'd taken methamphetamine, and was driving out west to get more when Cameron Hakeke texted asking her to get him some.
She drove to his house, where she says she was ambushed by Hakeke, Julie-Ann Torrance and Nicola Jones.
"Jones jumped out from behind the door and then just took me down to the ground," she told the court.
The victim says she was punched, kicked and tasered, "under my arms and in between my thighs".
She told the court Torrance used a hot methamphetamine pipe to burn her thigh.
"It was excruciating; it was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life."
Her hair was cut off and a knife held to her throat as she was forced to sign over ownership of her car.
She says Jones, Torrance and Hakeke then drove her past the Bombay Hills where they left her on the side of the road, and told her she was being watched by the Mongrel Mob.
"I was told that if I came back to Auckland ever I'm going to get more of the same."
The Crown says the accused followed through with that threat just weeks later, when the victim was kidnapped from Karangahape Rd and driven to a Glen Eden address where she endured another assault.
The second attack was more brutal. Her hair was cut off again, her hand was stomped on - breaking her fingers and she was stripped naked and beaten with a cricket stump. Her attackers used cable ties around her wrists and ankles.
"It was excruciating. It was hard enough to literally sting."
She was also sexually violated and kept in the basement for more than 20 hours with no water.
"The last thing I remember is a big massive blow to the back of the head."
The Crown said she was hit over the head with a hammer at least seven times.
She woke up in hospital about a week later, paralysed on her right side and unable to talk.
She's still dealing with the effects today, having to see a speech therapist fortnightly.
The trial continues.
