Yet another example of a woman finding empowerment in the face of danger. Leaving her Stamford, Connecticut church in the early evening hours, a woman was approached by a stranger in an alley. (She apparently left the church through a side door exit which led to an alley.) The man attempted conversation with her, asked her for a hug - which she refused- and began an assault. He grabbed her and threw her to the ground with violent intentions. After placing his tongue in the woman's mouth, he was repelled by the force with which the woman bit down, tearing a chunk of his tongue out in the process. This is a classic example of how self-defense can sometimes take an unexpected turn. Using what was available to her at the time, this brave woman used her own body to ward off an attack that could have ended fatally. Thankfully, she is okay - the same cannot be said for her attacker. Read about it in the Stamford Advocate newspaper.
