Fought him off

Australia -- A serial rapist may be at work in Brisbane. In the second sex attack within a week, an 18-year-old woman managed to fight off a man who entered her home yesterday afternoon in East Brisbane, and tried to rape her.

There were striking similarities between the incident and the rape of a woman on Tuesday of last week – in the method of attack and description of the offender.

In yesterday's incident, the woman answered a knock at her front door at 2:40 p.m. to a man asking about her house being up for sale.

The woman gave the man a card but would not allow him in and told him to leave. A few minutes after she had closed the door and returned to her lounge room, the man, believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s, appeared and dragged her into a rear bedroom.

The pair struggled throughout the house before she fought him off, kicking him in the groin. When she pulled a carving knife out of a kitchen drawer, he ran out the front.

The man was described as about 177cm tall, with a slim but athletic build.
