Over 20 UK Women Speak Out On Being ‘Spiked By injection’ At Night Clubs

UK Women Are Saying They’re Being Injected With Needles In Nightclubs

Women in the UK have made multiple reports saying they have been injected with needles while going out to nightclubs, blacking out, and waking up with no recollection of what happened that night.

Superintendent Kathryn Craner of Nottinghamshire Police  said, one 20-year-old man in Nottingham has been arrested, but released on bail in connection to a report of injecting females with needles on October 16.

Zara Owen, a student at Nottingham University told authorities that she blacked out during a night out at the club and woke up with a “pinprick” on her leg, which made her suffer from “sharp and agonizing pain.”

A 19-year-old in Nottingham also spoke out saying she could feel “a pinch on the back of her arm” prior to blacking out in the nightclub.

“It’s really frightening because I don’t know how you’re meant to prevent it,” Simpson shared as per the BBC. “Obviously you can put your hand over your drink but how do you stop somebody stabbing you with a needle?”

A Home Office source shared with Politico: “This is absolutely awful. We have asked for an update from the police on this and would encourage anyone to report this behavior to the police.”

Police are receiving new reports as the days continue so it is not an exact number of how many women this has happened to but police are still investigating this issue very close.
