The matrix of CCTV images show how the accused brutally attacked the woman inside the ATM
Despite being filmed by security cameras as he attacked a woman with a machete at an ATM in Bangalore, the man has not been identified. Eight police teams are hunting for him as the city grapples with anger and fear.
44-year-old Jyothi Uday is in hospital. Her skull was fractured, most of her nose chopped off, and the right side of her body is paralysed. Doctors say a plastic surgery to rebuild her nose was successful and that she is conscious.
There was no security guard at the ATM booth that she visited at around 7:10 am on Tuesday morning. A man entered the booth soon after, and pulled down the shutters. When she refused to hand over her money up him, he struck her repeatedly for around five minutes, then left her bleeding.
For three hours on one of Bangalore's busiest roads, she lay undiscovered, the shutters of the booth pulled down.
Finally, some schoolboys noticed blood trickling onto the road and informed the traffic police.
"She recognized me and spoke my name... Doctors have advised her not to speak too much," said her husband Uday Kumar.
Home Minister KJ George said all ATM machines have to be manned by a security guard around the clock.
