An 18-year-old girl has been left with horrific injuries after she was attacked by a gang of men for wearing a bikini.
Jessica stopped at a local convenience store on the way back from the beach with her boyfriend on Sunday.
Surveillance footage shows the group of men then approached the car and started catcalling her.
Her boyfriend heard the comments and approached the men, starting a fight.
He eventually got back in the car, but one of the men grabbed a pipe and threw it into the passenger-side window, hitting Byrnes-Laird in the face.
According to KTBS reports, she said she has "lost count" of the number of stitches she needed following the brutal attack.
Police are now trying to track down the attackers and are appealing to the public for information.
