]I have seen two ways that perps can take down joggers. That creep that took two girls in San Diego, walked past the jogger, face to face, then suddenly turned and pushed her from behind, really hard. She then fell forward and was helpless essentially.
Another way I heard about was someone hiding in the brush alongside the trail, and then sticking out their leg or a stick, and tripping the jogger as they ran by.
Once someone has you on the ground, in a total blindsided surprise, they have all of the power.
I was once robbed/assaulted while running. I running was at East River park after work. Ran past a group of teenagers. I feel like one of them said something to me as I ran past but I had my headphones on and just continued running. All of a sudden someone grabbed me from behind. As I was spun around I got punched in the face and I was down. I consider myself to be very physically fit. But that kid who couldn't have been more than 16 took me down in seconds.
