This
elderly woman awakens when a man
breaks into her bathroom in Fredrikstad
(a town South-East of Oslo), landing
in her bathtub with a bang. It
was 1.30 AM and the woman asked the
burglar in no uncertain terms what
on earth he was up to.
|
|
The
burglar answered that he was hungry,
whereupon the woman made him something
to eat! They spent two full hours
talking together. Before sending the
man on his way, granny was sure to notice
the burglars build and height,
together with the name and age she had
gotten from him.
|
|
Based
on these observations the police could
arrest the man, a known criminal. According
to the woman it was probaly fear that
kept her calm and controlled.

This

and abducted by her 25 year old ex-boyfriend.
This happened close to Moss, south-east
of Oslo, Norway. Prior to the abduction
the abduction the man had been given a restraining
order.

A
witness saw the incident, immediately
alarming the police. A police patrol car
caught up with the abductor and took up
pursuit.
|
|
The
man sped up, but had to slow down after
a while when they met some crossing traffic.
As the car was slowing down and running
at proximately 40 km per hour, the woman
threw herself out of the car, escaping
with some bruises and possible fractures.
The kidnapper was then stopped just
seconds after the woman had escaped, by
police vehicles ramming the side of the
car.

This woman was one of the founders
of Chimera (a women's self-defense organization in Chicago). She was on a
crowded, rush-hour bus, when she felt a hand on her breast, and it wasn't her
hand.
|
|
She grabbed the hand by the wrist
and, not letting go of the now wriggling hand, shouted as she simultaneously
thrust the hand into the air:
|
|
"Look what I found on my
breast! Did anyone lose a hand?" The perpetrator flew off the bus at the
next possible stop.

of Oslo, Norway. The girl was on her way
home from school, when she noticed a man
walking towards her on a part of the track
where it was passing through some
woods. In the same area of the city, there
had been committed two rapes on young
girls over a two-year period.

The
man grabbed her and tried to pull the girl away
from the track, obviously heading towards

This
14 year-old girl was in New York City on her own, far away from safe, rural Connecticut.
|
|
A man sitting in a car parked by the
curb called out to her, got her attention by gesturing with a road map. Wanting
to be helpful and assuming that he needed directions, she went to the car.
|
|
When
she came up to the car and stuck her head into the car to look at the map, he
pulled the map away. He was masturbating.
|
|
"What do you think of
that?" he asked. She briefly glanced at his penis, looked him in the eye
and said, "I've seen better," and walked away.
