Ms Katsavos was allegedly punched to the right side of her face and pushed down some steps before she became unconscious.
She was alone injured for half an hour before a good Samaritan saw her and helped her.
She has suffered a broken wrist, a hip fracture, significant bruising and bleeding to the brain.
