Hazards at work, 7

Miramar, Florida -- A Wingate Inn hotel clerk was hospitalized early Tuesday morning and remains in stable condition after she was brutally beaten during an attempted sexual assault.

Police say a hotel guest attacked the clerk around midnight and tried to sexually assault her. According to police, the man first propositioned the 19-year old clerk for oral sex in exchange for money.

The woman refused and the suspect walked away. But he returned less than an hour later and made another lewd offer. When the woman declined his advances, he asked her for access to the business center. Once inside, he tried to rape her, a Miramar police spokesman said.

When she laid down and he went to pull her skirt up, she started to fight back. During the fight however, the attacker broke her jaw and knocked out several teeth.Ultimately, she was able to escape and find help.

The suspect, who is from the town of Seminole, fled on foot. Police later found him covered in blood at a nearby Chevron station.
