An bride in the Old Cairo area was subjected to a horrific assault days before her wedding, as a woman disfigured her face using a sharp object after learning about her ex-husband's remarriage.

The incident occurred in one of the streets in Cairo when the accused surprised the victim and brandished a knife at her face, resulting in serious injuries that required stitching her wounds with 41 stitches. The assailant left her bleeding in the street before fleeing.

"I fell to the ground, bleeding, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't believe what happened to me while I was getting ready for my big day."

The bride, known as "Mansoura," continued: "My life changed completely in an instant; what was supposed to be a wedding turned into pain and disfigurement that may accompany me for the rest of my life."

The security forces in the Cairo Security Directorate managed to arrest the perpetrator shortly after the incident.
