“I had multiple skull fractures and brain bleeds,” said Christen Phillips.

Her suspected attacker, Stanley Shockley, 44, is behind bars.

The Onslow County Sheriff’s Office says the assault happened in broad daylight when the suspect allegedly hunted the woman down and beat her with the bat when she exited her car to drop off food.
It all started on Aug. 1 in Jacksonville, North Carolina, as Phillips was stopped in her car at an intersection and was waiting for the driver in front of her to move.
Shockley was reportedly behind the wheel when Phillips honked her horn alerting him to move his car forward.
After the honk, the situation took a dangerous turn.
The sheriff’s office said, “The vehicle moved out of her way and began following her.”
Phillips arrived at her delivery drop-off point, carried out the order, and tried to walk back to her car when Shockley allegedly jumped out, attacked her with the bat, then ran off.
