The image is actually of a 19-year-old from Sweden, who was attacked by a man at a nightclub in Malmö after refusing his advances.
Sophie Johansson reportedly tried to leave the party in attempt to avoid the situation escalating further, but on the way out, he struck her over the head with a beer bottle."I thought it was (liquid) from the bottle (on my face), but then my friend said it was running blood," she told the Swedish outlet Aftonbladet. "I ended up in shock."
There were a number of other photos used, included a split of two images showing a woman who was beaten by her boyfriend for hours after being held captive in an apartment.
