Piece of garbage

California -- A man is accused of trying to rape a female manager at a Centre City motel before three employees and a good Samaritan subdued him with a garbage can lid and a piece of wood.

The 22-year-old suspect walked into the Motel 6 Friday afternoon and asked about a room, officials said.

Police said the man jumped over the counter and went after the clerk, who ran to the back office, where the 35-year-old female manager was working. The three struggled, and the fight spilled into the laundry room, where a maid was working.

The maid struck the assailant with a metal trash can lid. The clerk broke free and ran across the street to a liquor store for help, police said.

A liquor store employee ran back to Motel 6, saw the assailant on top of the manager and beat him with a piece of wood, police said. The Motel 6 manager suffered a broken nose and a cut lip.
