A British holidaymaker has been left ‘scarred for life’ after needing stitches to her face when she was attacked by two female tourists at an Indonesian hotel.

Alexandria Mackintosh, 26, said she was trying to help two Chinese women use the lift in their hotel – when they pounced on her in the hallway, she claims.

One of the women grabbed her by hair and threw her to the ground – before both yobs repeatedly kicked her and one bizarrely shouted ‘you can’t touch me’.

Desperate Alexandria wriggled free and ran to a nearby police station – before she went to hospital for seven stitches to her face.

She also suffered a black eye, deep scratches to her neck and chest and gouges to her chin and arms.

She complained to staff at Ibis Styles in Seminyak, Bali, but claims they weren’t interested and tried to get her to sign a ‘peace form’ promising not to take it further.
