A YOUNG Scots mum was left bloodied and battered after a brutal pole attack in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Speaking from hospital, Tiffany recalled the terrifying moment she thought her life was over.
She told the Daily Record: “Someone sneaked up on me and attacked me with a pole. They basically left me for dead.
“The last thing I remember before I passed out was screaming, ‘Tell my daughters I love them.’
“I genuinely thought I was going to die.”
The 20-year-old is mum to a three-year-old and a one-year-old.
She was found in a pool of blood and rushed to hospital within four minutes of the attack, where she’s now awaiting a CT scan.
