New Jersey -- A man police say may be responsible for a string of sexual assaults in South Jersey have been arrested, according to myfoxphilly.com.
Several women reportedly have been lured to a vacant home in rural Salem County. A suspect then raped or attempted to rape them inside the home, officials said.
Thursday night, a woman was able to get away with a crucial piece of evidence. A neighbor said "She broke his glasses to get away from him and she said he couldn't see, so he wasn't able to come after her."
When police arrived at the scene, they found the suspect looking for glasses which had been taken off his face by the intended victim.

Blind man fights intruder
This man got my utmost respect. Way to go! It also proves how old wrestling skills can come in handy any day.
Story:
Indiana -- Wthr.com reported about a 49-year-old blind man who fought off an intruder Monday morning in Indianapolis.
Allan Kieta was reportedly having a day off and sleeping in when his dog Bella woke him up, letting him know something was wrong.
The home owner said the dog told him about a stranger in the house. And as he walked out of his bedroom, he ran right into the suspected burglar.
The men began fighting. "We fought maybe for 30 to 40 minutes - a long time," Mr Kieta said.
As the two men fought on the floor, Mr Kieta grabbed the intruder's belt, dragging him down the hall. According to reports he kept banging him against the walls to keep him disoriented and maintaining control.
"I was afraid if I let him up, he was going to kill me," Mr Kieta later told media. He used all his high school wrestling training to get the suspect to the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen, the home owner grabbed for the knife. He fumbled with the phone, trying to dial 911.
"He was begging, like, 'Don't kill me. I'll dial it for you!'," Mr Kieta said. "I was, like, 'You are not touching the phone'!"
Police arrived to the home quickly to arrest the intruder, who was hospitalized following the incident.

A very cautious girl
"I'm a very cautious girl," this assault victim says. If that's the case, then it scares me to even think what being less cautious implies.
I mean, having your head down, and listening to your voicemail outside a nightspot at closing time... Oh yes, very cautious indeed!
Story:
In Springfield, Missouri, police are investigating a spate of downtown attacks on a women, according to ky3.com .
The latest assault occurred on Saturday, April 26. According to reports, there have been at least five reports of attacks in or near downtown since the beginning of 2008. The victims have been women in all but one incident.
The woman who reported the latest attack said it happened on a sidewalk. She had just stepped outside the nightclub just around closing time.
In three similar incidents, the victims said they were outside downtown nightclubs right after closing times.
"I never would have thought it could happen in just a little couple seconds that that took to happen," the Saturday assault victim said in an interview.
"I'm a very cautious girl; all my friends are," she said. But that wasn't enough to keep her out of danger. "I did have my head down listening to my voicemail and next thing led to another and I turned around and there he was," she said.
The woman says she just left the nightclub as it was closing down. She came around a corner to listen to her voicemail. She was alone and that's when she says the attacker pinned her hands above her head with one of his hands, then used his other hand to assault her.
The woman says she screamed for help and a stranger from across the street ran over to help. When he did, the attacker ran off.
Other victims haven't been as fortunate according to reports. Three similar incidents reported to police have much in common. They were all after closing, all outside downtown bars, all reported rapes and all listed a popular nightspot as a place where victims had been earlier in the evening.
