She got hurt for fighting back.
“On Thursday night, Dec 19, a 23-year-old woman was stabbed several times with a cuticle pusher after she foiled her attacker’s attempt to rape her in Valenzuela City,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
According to the report, the woman was on her way to her boarding house shortly before midnight when an unidentified man grabbed her from behind and covered her face with a towel. She did what she could to get away from him. He retaliated by stabbing her with the “unexpected” weapon. Perhaps, fearing the approach of witnesses, the woman’s attacker quickly fled the scene.
The woman is now confined in a hospital.
