After telling them to ‘keep it down as there are young kids sleeping’ the group of boys and girls became increasingly aggressive.

She said: “They got angry and all jumped on me saying ‘you polish c***, you deserve a lesson’. They hit me with fists and knees in my face and head telling me to ‘f*** off to my country’.”

Ms Vacariu, who was actually born in Romania, said they also pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the head and eye while encouraging each other and laughing.

“I managed to escape and knock on my neighbours’ door. He came out and tried to cool things down. I ran inside my house to call the police. They damaged the fence and threw a brick through my friend’s car window that was parked on my drive.”

She heard them leaving and saw a black SUV pick up three of the children and speed away.

She said: “My six year old son cried when he saw what they had done to me, I had to lie and tell him it was a work accident as I don’t want him to be afraid, he’s already scared for me.

“Every second I thank God they didn’t have a knife because if they did they would have used it.”

If you have information relating to the incident call 101 quoting reference number 14/47674/19.
