THE third victim of Keighley's 'dark-eyed' Lund Park attacker relived her nightmare this week.

The 29-year-old sales administrator wishes to remain anonymous.

She was walking down Kensington Street, on her way home from a friend's house, at 8.30pm, on Tuesday, January 4.

"I didn't consider it dangerous to walk home that night - I had not given the other attacks a second thought," said Miss X.

But she realised she was being followed.

"He started running towards me and I turned around," said Miss X.

Suspecting a robbery, she threw her handbag down.

But the hooded man grabbed the fringe of her hair and started bashing her head against the pavement.

Miss X said: "I just screamed every time my head hit the pavement - I just screamed louder and louder.

"He did not speak; he did not say anything."

The attacker eventually ran off, but one image stays in Miss X's mind.

"All I can remember were dark eyes - that was all I could see of him," she said.

Miss X received bumps and bruising from the forehead to the back of her head and grazes to her elbow.

Now she also experiences double vision and headaches, which she has been told should disappear.

But there are slower healing mental scars.

Miss X said: "As soon as it gets dark, I won't go out on my own.

I am very nervous of people walking behind me - even in daylight."

She is in no doubt about the danger she faced.

"I think if his confidence gets to a certain level, he will kill somebody - definitely," she added.

Police have linked this incident to two earlier attacks on women in the area.

All three incidents were within a quarter-mile radius and took place over the last four weeks.

The first two involved a baseball bat-like instrument.

The attacker is described as in his mid-teens to early 20s, white or light-skinned Asian, 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in tall and of slim to medium build.

He was wearing a black padded jacket, with the hood up, black jeans and something dark obscuring his face.

Anyone with information should contact the police incident room on 617016, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
