CA - Well-aimed kick saves LA housekeeper from sexual assault

[zwiebel]

A 62-year-old housekeeper in Granada Hills, Los Angeles escaped a suspected sexual assault attempt by fighting back with her feet, Wednesday.

The San Jose Street homeowner, Alice Gratias, said her housekeeper was alone when she opened the door to a man who said his name was Kevin and identified himself as a neighbor.

“He knocked her down, but she just got up and kicked him really good in the crotch. He fell down, and he ran away,” Gratias said.

Just minutes earlier, the suspect had tried to enter another woman's house but she had called police. The suspect, who hasn't been named yet, was captured on surveillance and arrested Thursday. LAPD stressed the incident was being treated as an attempted sexual assault, not a home invasion.
