In North Charleston, South Carolina, a brave woman successfully fought off a teenage attacker who attempted to sexually assault her in her own home. The 33-year-old victim turned the tables on the predator, who had forced his way in with a knife, by biting off his tongue when he tried to assault her.
The ordeal began with the man repeatedly knocking on her door and hiding each time she opened it. On the final knock, he appeared armed with a knife, forcing his way inside and threatening her.
Despite being punched and dragged to her bedroom, the woman refused to give in. She fought back, kicking him in the groin and, in a decisive moment, biting down on his tongue when he tried to force it into her mouth, severing it.
The attacker fled the scene, leaving behind his tongue. The woman’s quick thinking and courage saved her life and led to the attacker’s capture when he sought medical help.
