IDF veteran chases down, tackles man who flashed her

Aia told Boston's WCVB, “When I was holding him down, he was terrified. He was really really scared. He picked the wrong victim.”

A jogger in Cambridge, Massachusetts got more than he bargained for when he decided to flash a passing female jogger.

The victim of the flashing, identified only as Aia, a 35-year old mother of two, turned out to be an IDF veteran.
Listening to an audiobook while jogging, she told police that the man exposed himself to her as he ran towards her and then tried to reach out and touch her.

Her reaction, caught on state police video, shows her turning and running after the man before pinning him down to the ground.

Aia told Boston's WCVB, “When I was holding him down, he was terrified. He was really really scared. He picked the wrong victim.”

After managing to pin the assailant to the ground, the man managed to escape after nobody came Aia's aid.

Speaking to NBC Boston, she said, "I was not ready to see his little d***. …If I’m not going to chase him, he’s going to scare some girl and get her all the way down and then what? No."

Police praised her bravery saying, "Good for her, you know, I think she put the fear of God in the guy."

Police are still searching for the offender, said to be in his 40's.

Really, that's all they have for a description. Seriously. She didn't get any useful information other than "in his 40's"? That describes most of us.

In the actual linked article, there is a video which shows the perp to be Caucasian, pudgy, and has a beard.

According to the story he also has a small penis. That should exclude some folks.

Really? So you are going to disparage her, based on a report by someone else as to what she said?

Seriously. She may well have given an hour long description to include every mole and freckle, but since no other information was provided, she's at fault for the reported description?

We do not know what all she may have reported.

Good for her for defending herself.

You seem to be criticizing something written in an article as if it was the victims description. Why would you make this assumption? He doesn't need to "lighten up."

Had a similar case in Seattle. She was attacked in a public bathroom.
“All I kept screaming during the attack was, ‘Not today, motherf***er.’ I was screaming it like an animal. It was the most vicious savage part of my being. There was no way I was going to let this guy rape me,”
In this case someone came to help. The perp, a convicted sex offender was captured.

Think about this for a second or so...

Victim, IDF veteran.
Media reporting on a crime.

Do ya think the media gets shit right, or even cares?

I'm betting on she, the IDF Veteran probably was pretty accurate in her description of the offender. The media, with their batting average lately, probably shit the bed as usual.

Good advice, you should take it.
