Terrifying moment female jogger is left with a black eye after she was allegedly ambushed by strangers while on her run in Adelaide
A young woman who was allegedly attacked while on the run has shared terrifying images of her with a black eye in the moments after.
Breanna Coats, 24, is warning others to be careful after she was approached by a pair of teenagers while jogging in Adelaide’s southern suburbs last week.
She shared a 19-second clip on TikTok that she filmed while still in shock.
“I’m shaking… I just got attacked. Who cares,” she said with a visibly large bruise under one eye.
It is alleged that a 13-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl approached Ms Coates and asked her if she had a vape before they lashed out.

‘They pushed me to the ground and her [one of the teens] repeatedly kicked me in the head she said Yahoo.
Ms Coates said the girls ran away after a passerby in a car stopped to help.
In the aftermath of the alleged attack, she shared the video warning women across the country to be aware of their surroundings.
“I’m fine, just very sore and shaken,” Ms Coates captioned the video.
“Just a PSA to all my girls to be careful and aware of your surroundings.
‘The world can be a scary place sometimes and it’s unfair that we can feel unsafe just by exercising outside.’
It is understood Ms Coates reported the incident to police and two people have been charged with aggravated assault.
She initially sent the video to her family, but later decided to share it online to raise awareness. Since then, the video has been viewed almost 90,000 times.
“I was in such shock that I didn’t really feel anything, and I didn’t know if there was any damage… I pulled out my phone camera to see it and started recording it,” Ms Coates said.
A few days later, Ms Coates gave an update on social media, thanking everyone for their messages of support.
“I don’t know what I can say… it’s still under investigation,” she said.
‘I’m doing well, I’m still in shock and trying to process everything at this stage.
‘My eye is quite sore and bruised and I also have some injuries to my arm.
‘I’m really grateful that I got out with only minor injuries, it could have been so much worse… I initially thought they were trying to knock me out.’
