A teenager was left with cuts and bruises after a man attacked her for having big breasts.
Sherri Razavi, 17, from Coldean in Brighton, was grabbed by the throat, punched in the face and thrown to the ground by the man.
She had been walking along Middle Street in the city with a friend when she was subjected to a tirade of abuse from the stranger.
Miss Razavi said: "He was staring at me and started calling me a slag.
"He was calling out, big boobs'.
"I told him to shut up and give it a rest but he just carried on jeering at me.
"He was staring at my boobs and started throwing chips at them. My friend retaliated, which she probably shouldn't have, and threw some drink at him. He just kept throwing more and more chips.
"He started coming up to me and pushing me. I tried to defend myself. He grabbed me by the neck. I have a scratch down my neck and had bruises on my neck and upper arms.
"I said, get off me'. He smashed my head against a parked car. He pushed me over and punched me in the face."
The attack happened outside Buddies Fish And Chip Shop in King's Road in Brighton on Friday at about 1am.
It is not the first time Ms Razavi has been the target of abuse because of the size of her breasts.
Miss Razavi, of Palace Close, said she had to deal with hassle from strangers on a daily basis. Speaking to The Argus earlier this year, she said: "On the bus a drunk man came and sat next to me and tried to touch me. Blokes shout stuff at me in the street."
She has 30JJ breasts and is hoping to have a breast reduction operation.
To go private would cost about £6,500 and she is hoping to raise the money.
She buys bras from specialist shops and has had physiotherapy to help with the strain she feels on her back.
Her bustline dominates her 5ft 1in figure and she finds it difficult to buy clothes because she is a size 22 on top and size ten around her waist.
A spokeswoman for Sussex Police said a 33-year-old man from Harrow had been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and actual bodily harm.
He has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Oh, please. Viewing the pics, it certainly seems as if she loves to show them off. And her breasts are not enormous--mine are larger than that and I am not taunted--simply becasue I do not wear clothing that puts them on display. How about a bit of common sense, eh?

The dangerous minority do mean we women have to be careful - and sadly most women who fall victim are attacked by their own partners. The statistics about how many women are murdered in this country by their boyfriends/husbands are frightening. However most men are decent and like women. Women hating men are a minority thank God. Thanks for your lovely comments Bill, you made my day!
I'm always ashamed of being a man when I read something like this. I mean what's his f***ing problem? Those men are the reason why you always have to convince other girls that you're a pretty normal guy and will not try to rape them on the first opportunity. And the problem is he's not alone, there are many. But just bitchslapping them ans saying: "Dude, be normal." is gonna help. I hate this. Did you that the most important reason for mortality is for women in the WORLD?(besides natural death of course) THEIR MEN. Makes you think, not? Sometimes I'd like to be a woman, just not to be ashamed all the time of what my fellowmen do.

Mental illness is no reason to atack a pretty girl. I know that violence is not the answer to everything, but it is the answer to some things. I say that she should have parted his jewels, kicked him dead square in the ying-yang twins, cut up his summer sausage, if you know what I mean. adn if her friend was there she should have done the same thing.
