A 26-year-old woman got severely hit by a young woman at the Lost and Found Music Festival in Rockhampton. The incident caused major damage to her left eye.
Music festivals are a place where people indulge themselves to have fun but in Queensland, the scenario is quite different. Recently an incident is coming in front of all; a woman has been brutally hit by a young woman while everyone was dancing in the mosh pit.
A student from Central Queensland University, named Riqui Vines was severely injured in the Lost and Found Music Festival at the Rockhampton Showgrounds on the 15th of October. Riqui gave her statement and said that when everyone was dancing and having fun.
She has said ‘A couple of young girls cautioned me that this girl (the alleged attacker) was being aggressive towards them, but I was having too much fun to take much notice… The crowd was pushing and shoving, which is normal in the mosh pit, and I got pushed into her and she hit me in the lip and busted my lip’. Also added ‘I hit her back straight away to defend myself and then I told her to settle down because we were all there to have fun and we don’t want to get kicked out’.
She thought it was the end of the conversation but again ‘I was pushed into this girl and out of the blue, she just elbowed me in the eye and I fell back into other people and everything was a daze from there; she had concussed me, I didn’t know what had happened’. She also said ‘My aunty saw her going for me and grabbed her and she punched my aunty in the forehead, then my aunty got her to the ground and she crawled out of the mosh pit’.
After the accident, Ms. Vines couldn’t move or stand. She was also being unconscious and was taken to the local hospital. ‘The waiting room was packed and it had been about two hours since I was hit and I remember all the pain starting to hit me. I was in agony and crying out in the waiting room’ she said. Later she was moved to the Capricorn Coast Hospital. It is being said that her eye can be damaged forever.
The next day she went to the police station to give her statement but according to her, the police have arrested the wrong person. That is why the investigation is still ongoing until they find out the culprit.
