She survived with minor injuries due to the help of local hairdresser, 'Tasos' who, uppon arriving at the scene, said 'Τι γελάτε ρε βλαμμένα;' ('Why are you laughing you fucking idiots?'). After being rescued, Kamfou said "Μη γελάτε ρε θα φωνάξω τον αδελφό μου" ("Stop laughing you idiot or I will call my brother"). | |||
