Woman stabs alleged attacker (http://www.tribstar.com/local/local_story_188214737.html)


The woman told the Tribune-Star that she noticed a blue Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible driving around the parking lot in front of her Garden Quarter apartment as she was walking to her car. The driver parked next to her vehicle when she got into her car, and she said he jumped in the back seat and tried to strangle her and use a Taser on her. [...]the suspect order the woman to leave the parking lot. The woman, an Iraq war veteran, said as she was leaving the lot she grabbed a knife she keeps by her front seat and stabbed the attacker in each hand as he grabbed at her throat. Her vehicle left the roadway, coming to rest about 150 south of Jessica Drive on the east side of Carlisle Steet. She said she also reached over the seat with the knife and stabbed him again before he fled in an undetermined direction.[...]The suspect has stab wounds to both hands and one leg, authorities were reporting.

Good for her! Sounds like she kept her wits about her. Here's a good thing about more women having been in the military...more "victims" spread around the civilian population that will put stigmata in an attacker like this.

An Alabama man with Terre Haute ties was arrested Thursday night for his alleged involvement in an attempted abduction at the Garden Quarter Apartments earlier this month.
[...]
Harpold allegedly struck a 22-year-old female in the back with a stun gun in an attempt to get her out of her car around 5 p.m. July 6, according to the probable-cause affidavit.

When she couldn’t be pulled from the car, he allegedly began choking her as he pulled himself into the back passenger’s seat of her Mercury Sable. She did not know her attacker.

As he allegedly choked her, he told her to drive, the document stated. The female kept a knife between her door and seat of her car on the floor and was able to stab Harpold on the tops of his hands and somewhere in the abdomen or upper leg. At the same time, she drove off the side of Carlisle Road just south of Jessica Drive.
