Afterwards E. demanded that we continue and began to strangle me when I refused. He grabbed me by my ear with his hand and smashed it. That\u2019s when I hit him in the face with a glass. I then pulled him off of me and began screaming for help, hoping that someone would hear me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ran to the door, managed to open it and ran out of the apartment. E. caught up with me; he grabbed me from behind and we rolled down the stairs. He was hitting me in the head and yelling, \u2018Die, die, die!\u2019 I don\u2019t remember anything else. I lost consciousness and regained it 4 days later in the hospital.\u201d \u00a0The woman had to undergo an urgent surgery for a skull fracture; she also suffered bruising and hematomas and is currently undergoing drug therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Yerevan police have opened a criminal case into the incident; E., however, has been released from detention on his own recognizance. Jacklyn says she does not feel safe and is afraid that E. might hurt her again. His relatives, she continues, have come to her to ask that she does not file a complaint against the young man.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; I ran to the door, managed to open it and ran out of the apartment.
