??/??/?? - She survived
Real-Life Crimes

Walking home through Keighley in the early hours of Saturday 5 July 1975, Irish-born Anna Rogulskyj was attacked from behind. Hit three times on the head with a hammer and left for dead, she was found scarcely breathing about an hour later.

She was rushed to hospital, where it was discovered that she had also been slashed across the stomach. This bizarre attack left police baffled, as there had been no sexual motive for the assault and the victim's handbag was still intact.

A 12-hour operation saved Anna's life. She had survived the Ripper's first attack.
