“She punched him, she wrapped him, got him headlock, kneed him a couple times, spun him around, threw him on the ground, and she stepped on his foot,” said Blackburn.

I hope some neighbours caught him on surveillance and he's arrested before he has a chance to try this again.

At the bottom of the story it asks people to send video surveillance to the police department, but oddly the story doesn't mention where the crime occurred.

On second reading, I'm wondering if the girl embellished the story about all the moves she put on her attacker. I used to take judo and was taught to get away from the situation as soon as possible (for example, block the punch, knee him or sweep him to the ground, and run). In any case, glad she's okay.

Newspaper reporting is sorely lacking. The perp has not yet been identified or caught. How can the reporter say the perp suffered major injuries?
