When Seattle resident Kelly Herron took a self-defense class a few weeks ago, she likely didn’t guess she’d need to use what she learned so quickly.
But while the 36 -year-old was jogging through Golden Gardens Park last week, she found out exactly how valuable self-defense skills really are. After she took a infringe and strolled into a public bathroom, she was immediately attacked by a masked human hiding in a stall. He was a sex delinquent who meant to rape her, but this tough lady proved to him that he had another thing coming.
Using what she learned in her classes, Herron says she “fought for my life screaming( ‘Not today, M ** F ** er! ‘ ), clawing his face, punching back, and urgently trying to escape his grip, never giving up.” She was able to lock him inside a stall until police arrived. You can see exactly how hard she fought by looking at the cherry-red lines from her GPS tracker.
She may have been injured, but she says, “My face is stitched, my torso is bruised, but my spirit is intact.”
