Gruesome photos show the severely bruised and battered face of the woman who was knocked out during a horrifying now-viral Cincinnati brawl.
“This is Holly,” wrote Ohio Senator Bernardo Moreno as he shared the harrowing images of the victim, “a middle-aged woman.”
“She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this,” Moreno wrote of the gruesome injuries from the vicious beatdown on a Cincinnati street last Saturday.
The grim images show Holly with a huge black eye and busted lip, with one showing dark bruises across her entire face and neck.
“Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did,” the outraged senator said.
Five people have since been charged after footage of the attack quickly went viral.
The video appeared to show a white man and woman being targeted by a group of largely black assailants.
The pair were brutally punched and stomped on as they cowered on the ground.
The woman was eventually knocked out cold.
Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks sparked outrage after claiming in a social media post that the victims were asking to be assaulted by the ruthless mob.
“They asked for that beatdown,” Parks replied to video of the brawl on Facebook. “I am grateful for the whole story.”
