POLICE say they have found no evidence of an attack after a protest in Evesham referenced a woman being "brutally assaulted."
Dozens of people protested over women's safety in Port Street the weekend before last after Carrie Thomas was found with a fractured skull and bleed on the brain.
There were concerns that she had been attacked, but police said its investigation has so far not uncovered any evidence of third-party involvement in her injuries.
Ms Thomas said she does not remember what happened. The last thing she remembered was being on a scooter in Port Street on Sunday, October 6 at about 11pm.
She said: "I want to know what has happened - I do not like to think I have been attacked.
"There is nothing to say that there has been no third-party involvement, but there is also nothing to say there has been.
"I cannot remember.
"The doctors say there is no evidence of a fall - I just have a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain."
She said there was no evidence that she had fallen off a scooter as she had no grazed hands, arms or scuffed clothes.
But there is also no clear evidence she was attacked.
Following the incident, 30 people had gathered on Port Street on October 19, holding placards reading "Justice for Carrie".
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “At 11.05pm on Sunday, October 6, we received a report from a member of the public reporting their friend had been assaulted in the early hours of that morning and was in the hospital.
“Detectives have carried out extensive enquiries into the incident, including viewing CCTV and speaking to witnesses and at the current time, there is no evidence which confirms an assault took place or there was any third-party involvement in how the woman suffered her injuries.
“If more information comes to light, then this will be investigated.”
