WARNING: Some of the details of this story are disturbing. Discretion is advised.

A longtime Vancouver, B.C., resident is struggling to recover from a terrifying and violent attack, caught on video, that has left her physically and emotionally shattered.

The 40-year-old victim was sitting outside her building with her cat, chatting with her neighbours, at the time. She said there were three teenage girls at a bus stop nearby and one of them said to her, “What are you looking at?”

The victim said she responded by saying "nothing." That's when she says the three girls came over and started attacking her, stomping on her head and kicking her.

In the video, the cat, Leonard, can be seen clinging to the bars of the front door, trying to get away from the violence.
