An off-duty US navy sailor wrestled a bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he attempted to rape her at knife point, a court heard yesterday.
Prosecutors said that she knocked the knife from his hand, broke it in two, bit him in the hand, forced him to the ground and locked him between her thighs.
The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai and was attacked as she returned to the port where she was based after a day shopping.
She had been attempting to hail a taxi after visiting shopping centre, Mall of the Emirates and a supermarket when a bus pulled up next to her
After climbing aboard she became suspicious of the drivers route. She said: ‘I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry.’
He then drove for a further 10 minutes before stopping in an area where other buses were parked and attempting to kiss her.
When she refused him he pulled the knife and threatened to rape her but she was able to subdue him.

I didnt mind your OP til I got to this line. What a disgusting thing to say. Also I don't find this story hilarious at all. The woman was almost raped.
You are sick.

she took the knife away, broke it in half! and then proceeded to administer a beat down...this is hilarious.

The driver, named as K S, from Pakistan, was arrested the next day at his home and the attending police officer said that he was intoxicated at the time.

Remove the (snip) self rightous English (snip). It is making you(snip)funny
Maybe more women over there should get training to protect themselves since obviously their police isn't worth a damm? Maybe this story will inspire them to do so? maybe some good will come from this?

Agreed!
The story is one that had a positive outcome yes. I feel for this woman, she must have been scared esp being in a foreign country. It's great that she had the training she did to fight this guy off. If it had been anyone else I'm not so sure they would have had the same end result.
These rapes over there seem to be getting worse and worse. I read the other day that in India women are not suppose to travel alone or go off the beaten path so to speak. They say esp women who are visiting from other countries should be careful. What a horrible thing to worry about while traveling! There have been gang rapes on these buses. I mean GANGS, multiples, how sick. I can't imagine living there and having to worry about this day to day.
