She insists she was attacked without any provocation."I think this is a case of someone who does not accept rejection, because he once told me he liked me and I told him I was not interested," she said.Police spokesperson Capt Sandra Janse van Rensburg confirmed a case of assault with intention to do grievous bodily harm had been opened."It is alleged that a 20-year-old complainant was at a club in Humewood when she was assaulted by a 34-year-old man," she said.
