Terrifying: Video captures woman as she fights off would-be rapist (PHOTOS)

Frightening surveillance footage from Sunday morning shows the moment a Manhattan woman fought off an attempted rapist as she walked her dog.

The video shows a man who appears to be in his 20s approaching the woman from behind as she strolled the sidewalk at around 7 a.m. on 212th ST. in the Inwood neighborhood.

Pouncing upon his startled 30-year-old victim, the man attempts to rip off her clothes and reach into her shorts, but the brave lady is able to fight him off as she cries for help to passers-by.
