- description: A teenage girl who was left in a wheelchair after a brutal attack on the street is furious after her attacker walked free. Nikki Brewer, 18, was pulled back by the hair by the drunken thug and punched so hard she was thrown into the air as she returned home from a night out in Colchester, Essex. Her attacker verbally abused the young woman and spat at her before calmly walking away. Yet despite the violence being caught on CCTV, the 31-year-old man who was arrested afterwards was never charged because of a loophole that puts a time limit on making a prosecution. Ms Brewer, who now works for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre in Colchester, suffered life-changing injuries after the incident and has been left with constant back pain She often has to resort to a wheelchair to get around because she tires so easily. The charity worker has also been diagnosed with a degenerative disease that affects her nerves, which doctors have said can be brought on by a trauma injury. 'It is so frustrating and the law is silly,' she said. 'What was the point in making an arrest if there was no chance of prosecution? 'When I first complained to police, nothing happened and now I have run out of time to get justice.'
