A transsexual was punched and knocked unconscious within moments of walking into a Leicester pub.

Giovanna Del Nord was punched in the head by a stranger, without warning, as she waited to be served in the Market Tavern, in Hotel Street, Leicester city centre.

The 46-year-old, who has lived in the city for less than two months, believes she was targeted because she is transsexual.

Born male in Stockholm, she is a year into a four-and-a-half year therapy which will result in a sex change.

For the past two years, she has been "presenting" herself as a woman.

Speaking about the attack, she said: "I didn't speak to anyone or look at anyone.

"I went straight to the bar and before I'd even ordered a drink I saw a fist coming towards me.

"The next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor. It all happened so quickly that I did not get a chance to see the person who attacked me.
