An aspiring actress has been dubbed the 'unluckiest woman in the world' after she was attacked by a homeless man who broke her jaw, diagnosed with a brain tumor and hit by a car on her way to radiation therapy.

Alli McLaren, 30,  describes the 'series of unfortunate events' that left her with a traumatic brain injury and two broken feet in a now viral TikTok video.

'I'm the friend that lives that "Can't catch a break lifestyle,"' McLaren, a Los Angeles resident originally from Australia, tells viewers in a clip that has garnered 1.6million views.

She explains in the video that her life started to make a turn for the worst in October 2021, when a homeless man assaulted her in the City of Angels. 

McLaren was a social butterfly at the time, with many friends who enjoyed going out in the city and having fun.

But when she walked back from Starbucks on her last day of what she described as a 'toxic job,' the TikTok star was punched in the head by a homeless man.

'He walked across the road, and I saw him out of the corner of my eye,' she told Media Drum. 'He punched through my phone, which broke from the impact and I fell over. It all happened in about two seconds.'

She said she sought medical attention at an urgent care facility in West Hollywood, where doctors told her she had a concussion but 'looked fine' and dismissed her concerns.

But she started to feel jaw pain a month later, and a dentist confirmed her jaw was fractured from the attack.

McLaren said in a video posted in June that the dentist originally told her it would heal on its own. But three months later, she said, she was in 'more pain than ever and can't eat solid food.' 

At that point, she said, she sought another opinion from a different dentist who took another X-ray which showed the fracture was even worse than it was before.

After attempts to wire her jaw back in place failed, the New York Post reports, she was forced to wait another two months before getting oral surgery to fix the fracture.

McLaren explained in the now-viral TikTok: 'I had to get jaw surgery to fix it, and my immune system was super weak and I ended up getting an infection and pneumonia.'

During that bout with pneumonia, the Post reports, she fell and hit her head, causing a Traumatic Brain Injury which spurred back-to-back seizures.
