A bride-to-be’s bachelorette trip with lifelong friends was interrupted by a “horrifying attack” outside a bar one month before her wedding.
Canada Rinaldi, 27, arrived in Dallas from Oklahoma with a group of six friends. She was assaulted after leaving a nightclub around 2 a.m. on March 22, according to the Dallas Police Department as reported by Fox News Digital.
Recalling the incident, Rinaldi mentioned, “I recall heading to the back of the car, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in an ambulance.” Her memory of the event was hazy.
Brienna Rinaldi recounted the moment, saying, “I yelled at him, asking, ‘What’s the matter with you?’ When I saw Canada, I started shouting her name, ‘My sister, my sister!'”

The Dallas Police Department told Fox News Digital that its officers were flagged down in the 2600 block of Floyd Street in the Texas city and that a preliminary investigation determined a person had assaulted two victims. Dallas Fire-Rescue was also called to the scene.
Canada’s fiancé’s aunt was also hurt in the attack. The bride-to-be was left with a black eye along with a broken nose and several teeth.
