She had bottles thrown at her before being repeatedly punched and kicked.

A Brazilian transgender woman was brutally attacked by a group of about 20 men last Sunday.

22-year-old Melissa Hudson was walking home with friends around 4:30 in the morning when the group was attacked by the mob of men.

Her friends were able to escape, but Hudson was not, resulting in an attack that tore apart her recent facial feminization surgery.

The young event promoter and makeup artist reported that she was first hit in the neck with a bottle, before being surrounded and attacked by the kicking and punching men.

The mob was also shouting transphobic slurs, and would shout “it’s not a woman” every time someone would try to step in to defend her.

Hudson eventually managed to break away from the group and found a police car to take her to the emergency room.

In addition to being attacked, the assailants also stole two cell phones from her.

The case is now being criticized because the complaint filed only listed robbery as the issue, without making any mention of the fact that she was transgender or that the attack was based on prejudice.
