I'm not really surprised with how the nightlife on a Saturday night is, with all the homeless and people on drugs littering the streets," she said.

"It's bound to happen but it's never going to change."

Anyone with information is urged to contact South Yorkshire Police on 101. Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
