A young Aussie hairdresser has been medevaced home from Bali after a violent bag snatch left her with broken cheekbones, a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain and in need of emergency surgery.
Emma Bell, 25, from Byron Bay near the NSW-Queensland border, had been sponsored to live in Bali as a hairdresser but her time on the island was cut short after falling victim to the violent attack earlier this month.
“But she’s got a good support crew here and a lot of loving friends around her and hopefully she can pull through.”Ms Bell was medevaced to Perth on Saturday night after spending a number of days in intensive care at a Bali hospital. “She is one of the most beautiful souls I know,” her friend and GoFundMe organiser Emi Thompson wrote.
