he woman was lying in pool of blood for a long time and the incident came to light when two school children raised an alarm seeing blood coming out the kiosk from under the shutters, the police said. She was taken to nearby government-run VictoriaHospital with injuries on head and face by a traffic policeman and later shifted to BGSGlobalHospital where her condition is reported to be stable.
"She is out of danger," Bangalore Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar told PTI. He said the police have formed squads to track down the assailant. "We are making all efforts to nab him." The ATM, located very close to a police station, had no security guard. The woman, identified as Jyothi Uday, is working as Section Manager with the Corporation Bank.
According to police, the assailant, in mid 30s, did not rob her of the jewellery she was wearing. The police said they have recorded the statement of the victim after she regained consciousness. The woman told police that the attacker spoke in Kannada and asked her not to raise an alarm and threatened her to withdraw money from the ATM and hand it over to him.
