Research has clearly shown that your odds increase if you use multiple strategies in defending yourself. Here's a great example.
I would also like to praise this young woman for her will to fight back, and by doing so, getting this perpetrator off the streets.
Story:
California -- A 33-year-old man, whose injuries matched those inflicted by a woman on an attacker who attempted to rape her, was arrested Tuesday.
On Saturday at approximately 3:45 p.m. a man entered a model home and asked the 19-year-old woman working there if he could use the bathroom.
The man exited the bathroom and after mumbling a few words to the victim, lunged at her, grabbing her by the neck.
As she fought back, the young woman was thrown into a back office where her pants were ripped as the attacker attempted to remove them.
Fighting the attacker off, she managed to dial 911 on a desk phone and her screams were heard. The man ripped the phone from the wall but the call was responded to by Apple Valley deputies.
They found the woman bleeding and suffering from injuries to the head and neck. She had stopped her attacker by kicking and scratching him. She had also bit the attacker’s index finger before he fled.
