Bride-to-Be Knocked Unconscious in ‘Horrifying, Shocking Attack’ During Her Bachelorette Party

“It’s just shocking. It’s just hard to believe,” Rinaldi said in a previous interview with local ABC-affiliated station WFAA. “It just feels like a lot of my experiences were taken away from me.”

“I feel like I’m not excited to plan my wedding anymore,” she added to the station. “I’m getting there, I’ll be okay, but it’s hard.”

Rinaldi’s future aunt-in-law, Kelly Peralta, was also hit after she tried to push the attacker away from the victim, per NBC 5 DFW.

“We started walking across the street to get into the Uber, and that’s when he came from behind and he punched Canada, and she went straight down, and I turned to push him away, and that’s when he got me,” Peralta recalled, according to the outlet.

The incident was reportedly captured on a Lyft driver’s dash camera, with police seen helping the victim, per Fox-affiliated station KDFW. The outlet added that the video caught a man running away from the scene, but police haven’t confirmed whether that’s the suspect.

A description on the GoFundMe page read, “Just 24 hours earlier, [Rinaldi] had told us she was having ‘the best trip of her life.’ That happiness was ripped away from her in an instant, turning it into the most terrifying and traumatizing night she’s ever experienced.”

The page stated that she’d been left with huge medical expenses.

“She is now trying to heal—not only physically, but emotionally and financially—when she should be counting down the days to her wedding,” the message read. “Please consider helping her during this heartbreaking time. No one should have to face something like this, let alone carry the cost of their own trauma.”

The page had raised just over $12,900 as of Thursday, March 27.
