This incident shows a couple of things, apart from the outright stupidity and mindlessness of some middle-aged men.
First it shows that it is quite possible to defend against a strangle-hold with one of your own, especially if you know how, and/or uses some item to apply the hold with.
It also proves (again) the amount of strength, ingenuity and willpower that a person can apply when the survival instinct kicks in.
Brave girl!
Story:
New Hampshire -- "When people find you, you will be decomposing."
That was the threat that the 17-year-old girl told police spurred her into desperate action; she decided she had to strangle her assailant before he strangled her.
As he choked her in the front seat of his pickup truck on a back road in Auburn, she managed to grab an orange cord and wrap it around his neck, tightening it until the 45-year-old Manchester man gasped for air and she heard a gurgling sound.
According to court records, after she released the cord the man sliced his wrist with a box cutter and then began begging the girl not to go to police.
