How to use "Set upon" in context?
I was set upon. An assailant or attackers deliberately attacked me, they had the advantage over me and they knew it. The attack can be physical or sexual in nature and the intentions are always malicious. I was attacked in broad daylight, on a busy sidewalk. I had no chance to defend myself and no one came to my rescue. I was left to fend for myself.
