Assaults on GC women

Can anyone point me to a list of occasions where women have been physically assaulted for expressing GC views?
I know that Posie Parker and another woman were assaulted in New Zealand and about the incident at the recent women won't wheesht but a quick Google search shows many other cases and I wondered if anyone is compiling a list?
Thanks.

A steward was knocked over and wrapped in a banner and the police had to help wrestle her free earlier this year in Hyde Park.

This is one clip of it.

It was Bristol, at the Jam Jar. Can't find the video on YouTube now but it was shocking. Julie Bindel and Heather Brunskell Evans trapped on the stairs by some very nasty people.
Here's a clip of a slightly tipsy and lovely Magdalen Berns from the event that was being protested.

its heart-wrenching to think about how she's doing nowadays, but you can help her out by donating to her PayPal / Patreon accounts. Love you so much Magdalen...

And Birmingham:

“Our local teams are in Birmingham city centre this afternoon as demonstrators carry out a peaceful protest. We are continuing to observe and monitor and will respond accordingly. Officers will be around the area should you need their assistance.”

However, some people on Twitter responded to the police saying: “Two women have been assaulted already - that isn’t peaceful. I look forward to hearing about what you are going to do about it.”

Another added: “Peaceful? Two females got assaulted. The only thing protecting these women from a large group of predominantly male activists was brave females who linked arms to keep the mob at bay! You did nothing to help those women/children.”

There was an event in Bristol, some years ago, but cant find it so maybe it wasn't Bristol. Women got trapped in an upstairs room. Will try googling tomorrow.

Also, before the LWS events in Hyde Park there was a Speaker's Corner event where women were surrounded by a hostile group.

And the launch event of new Lesbian group where TRAs demonstrated out side shouting so those inside could hear. The police did nothing, but was got on video by a passing video auditor.

I know these aren't physical assualts but the intimidation not only makes the meetings difficult, but also mean that women decide not attend because they feel they can cope with potential violence, or were hoping to attend with a young daughter or elderly mother.

@ArabeIIaScott thank you.
I hoped that there would be someone already collecting them in one place, like "terf is a slur" and "this never happens"
I think it will be useful to counter the"literal violence" arguments.
