She described to ABC 7 what she’d been taught:
“I learned to put your hard bones in soft fleshy places. So I just started beating the side of his head with the side of my hand.”02\
“Being loud and not afraid. I mean you are afraid, but letting him know, ‘you are not taking me down today. You are not going to win this fight.’”
Here’s her attacker:
He is 40-year-old registered sex offender named Gary Steiner.
The Daily Mail reported that a police officer described Steiner as a “danger to the community.”
“His predatory attack on a female in the middle of the day represents a brazen willingness to assault without concern for getting caught.”
According to KIRO 7, Steiner was charged with attempted rape and second-degree assault.
