The girl who became the face of the London riots this week is a Polish shop assistant and has an India boyfriend, The daily Mail reported.
32-year-old Monika Konczyk came to the UK just a few months ago, hoping for a better life. But when marauding yobs set her street on fire, she had to fight for her very survival.
The image of her jumping from her first floor flat as flames tore through the building became an iconic image of the riots.
Terrified, fearing she was going to die, Monika was paralysed until her sister Beata screamed at her to jump the 16 feet to the street below.
