During the incident, which happened almost two years ago, at about 4.50pm on February 28, 2019, the then 17-year-old City College Norwich student had been cycling with her boyfriend, then 20, on Mile Cross Road, Norwich.
The couple were subjected to a torrent of verbal abuse from a group of young people.
The victim said they had called her fat before one of the group started attacking her boyfriend.
The teen said her boyfriend was cut in the arm after he pulled the attacker off her.
The offender slashed the female victim s bike tyres before running off down Hansard Close where he was challenged by members of the public but managed to get away.
