Before Miss Moustafa's death, police arrested a 17-year-old girl on suspicion of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm. She was released on conditional bail. | |
Miss Moustafa's uncle told the BBC a group of about 10 girls had started beating his niece in the shopping centre, so she ran to get on a bus. | |
The girls then followed her on to the bus, he said, and kept beating her until she passed out and a man intervened to help. | |
In a statement, bus company Nottingham City Transport (NCT) said one of its drivers helped Miss Moustafa. | |
"We would also like to publicly recognise our driver, who went upstairs to intervene and acted as a barrier between the attackers and the young lady, after he asked them to leave the bus," NCT said. | |
"CCTV from the bus has been provided to Nottinghamshire Police as part of their investigation into this appalling attack and we continue to support their efforts to identify the culprits." | |
Miss Moustafa's uncle said the hospital dismissed her initially, before she fell ill at home and was taken back to hospital where she entered a coma. | |
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has been asked for a comment. |
