Attacker Flees at Sight of Woman's Pepper Spray

A Madison woman was recently attacked shortly after moving into a new apartment on the city's south side. 

The man approached her as she entered the building and attempted to engage her in conversation. 

"She tried to ignore him and got her key out, attempting to enter the building, when he grabbed the door with one hand and her chest with the other hand," police spokesman Joel DeSpain told the Wisconsin State Journal.

She fought the man off, threatening him with pepper spray, and the attacker ran away.
