The women, all from the UAE, suffered head and facial injuries.

The women, in their 30s, and three children were asleep in adjoining rooms on the seventh floor of the Cumberland Hotel in central London when a man broke in.
Police said the women were attacked after they awoke and disturbed the intruder. Detectives found a hammer at the scene.
Police said that they are treating the attacks as attempted murder and have appealed for information
The four-star Cumberland Hotel, near Oxford Street, has 1,000 rooms, including a Jimi Hendrix suite.
