Fists, knife and camera

Isabella Scott, 19, from Galashiels in Scotland, was reading on a beach in Puri, Orissa, when she dozed off and a partially clothed man jumped on her and tried to force himself on her.

Despite the attack taking place in broad daylight, with other people on the beach, nobody came to her assistance.

According to detectives, Scott managed to push the man off and punched him before pulling a craft knife from her bag to keep him at bay.

She then photographed him with her digital camera and fled the scene. A rickshaw took her to a local police station where she reported the attack. The man was arrested within hours and charged with attempted rape.
