THE victim of Shaun Greenwood's savage New Year's Day attack in Nelson said he was "evil" and deserves to suffer like his victims have.

The mother-of-one was 23 when the attack happened on her own doorstep.

She had walked from her mother's house to her own home in the early hours of New Year's Day when the monster struck.

She said: "He pulled up in his car and pretended to ask for directions. I came away from my front door. I partly locked it just in case he was a burglar or anything like that and then he grabbed me from the front door and forced me into his car.

"He had central locking. I tried to kick the door to get out because he pulled outside my mum's house and he stayed there for a few seconds so I was really kicking his car door to try and get out of the car.

"I tried everything to get out of the car. I tried to grab hold of the steering wheel to crash him into the wall so I could get to the central locking part of the car.

"I just couldn't get out of the car at all. Everything I tried was like he had done it before, like he knew everything I was going to try.

"He kept pulling me about with my hair and swearing at me and calling me really nasty names and telling me to shut up because I was crying.

"I was scared out of my wits. All sorts of things were running through my mind. I thought he was going to murder me.

"I said to him I will do anything you want me to do just please let me go'. I have a little boy so all of that was running through my mind was, will I ever see my little boy again?' "At one point I asked him for a lighter so I could burn him with a lighter at the time when he tried to touch me or do anything with his hands. I do think the survival instinct did take over.

"The scarier it became the longer it went on. He wouldn't let me see his face so I thought he could have a gun or a knife.

"He said if I reported it to the police he would be back and I wouldn't live to see another day.

"He threw me from the car partially dressed. A young couple from Colne found me. I would like to thank them because in my eyes they saved my life.

"I was thanking God for me still being alive and being found.

"I was frightened to death he was going to come back. I wouldn't dare go out.

"It was a great relief that the police caught him and to know that he is not able to do it to anybody else. I do think definitely he had it in him to go further.

"I was kind of expecting that there were others he had attacked but in another way it was a bit of a shock because I didn't want anybody else to be hurt by this person.

"I think he's a very, very evil person and he's in the right place where he is now and I just hope he is made to suffer like he has made all his victims suffer.

"It has had a great effect on me. I wouldn't dare go out anywhere. I can't sleep, I get bad flashbacks. It is really difficult at times.

"I am only 24 years old. I won't dare go out like I used to, I used to be a really sociable person. I am frightened to go out.

"But at the moment I am on the road to recovery."
