A UK woman is recovering after being brutally attacked by a stranger while out buying milk for her seven-month-old baby.

Emily Holt, 19, was walking in the town of Bolton earlier this week when a man chased her and pulled her to the ground.

According to the Manchester Evening News, she was able to escape by biting the man and sprinting away.

Holt was not injured but left in shock by the attack. She told the MEN it was the most frightened she'd ever been. 

"He shouted 'you're coming with me you bitch, you're mine.'

"The look in his eyes - I knew if I didn't do anything I would have been gone."

Police said the incident is under investigation. A Greater Manchester police spokesman told the MEN no arrests have been made at this stage.
