A victim of the Cologne sex attacks has spoken out, describing how she was hit and pulled to the ground by migrant men on New Year’s Eve. The woman, named as Miriam, told BBC World Service how she is now “anxious” whenever she leaves the house, especially when men who “look like those guys” start approaching her. Describing the attack, she said: “I was with a friend of mine, we were almost at my house when my turned around and said ‘Someone is following us.’ “I looked and there were two men. One of them tried to hug me. I pushed him away and took some steps back. Then I took out my mobile and said ‘I’m going to call the police if you don’t let us go.’ He was talking back at me in a language I didn’t understand.” At this point she turned around and saw her friend on the ground as a man hit her on the head. When she tried to intervene he started hitting her, pulled her to the ground and tried to grab her phone. The men eventually left and the girls ran home. She described them as having “dark hair and dark skin”
