'I told my mum and she thought it might've been a pulled muscle but then I realised I didn't remember anything. 'I had to go to campus and I realised I had a massive limp. If my memory was there I would've neglected this but this is a thing that never, ever happens to me and it really confused me. 'I decided to go to hospital to get checked out but after eight hours of only having a triage and background info taken from me, I decided to go home. 'The next morning I felt my leg and examined it to a further extent as I didn't get any help medically. I touched the part where I was in the most pain and I found a pinprick. I had been spiked. 'I was in jeans. A needle went through thick denim straight into my leg.'

"I now need to go for monthly blood tests. Please please just be so vigilant when out. I can't confirm where it happened sadly.' Another woman also took to social media to report being targeted with a needle. She added: 'Please be careful on nights out. Last Saturday I was spiked in a club in through an injection in my hand.
