“She was missing at least one or more teeth, she was bleeding from every side of her head I could see, out of her ears. She was in really bad shape,” Hill told Eyewitness News shortly after the attack.

The father views Hill as a hero, and is thankful his daughter wasn’t harmed further in the incident.
“When she was not sedated, she was very lucid, very communicative, surprisingly upbeat,” said the father.
