Anna Rogulskyj is attacked by serial killer Peter Sutcliffe aka The Yorkshire Ripper at the age of 32 in Alice Street, Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

Rogulskyj was found by a passerby at 2:20 am. She was rushed to the casuality department at Airedale hospital and then was transferred to Leeds General Infirmary where she survived a twelve-hour operation which included the removal of splinters of bone from her brain and a steel plate was fitted to her skull. At one point she was given last rites but she survived.
