Kelly Herron beats sex attacker

YouTube - Inside Edition


An awesome woman named Kelly Herron was jogging in Golden Gardens Park on Sunday afternoon in Seattle when she stopped to use the toilet and was attacked by a registered sex offender.

What about that makes her awesome? She fought back using some self-defense moves she had learned in a class three weeks earlier as she shouted at him, “Not today motherfucker!”

“As I was drying my hands, I became aware that something was wrong,” she said. When she turned around, she said, she saw a man standing in the bathroom. At that point, according to police, Gary Steiner — a 40-year-old registered sex offender in Arizona — assaulted her.

“He immediately took me down to the ground, hit both my knees and legs, and then it was a fight on the bathroom floor, and I just kept screaming, ‘Not today, m—–f—–,'” she said. She repeatedly screamed the phrase at him throughout the attack, and she said it became her “battle cry.”

Herron than escaped into a bathroom stall, but her attacker was still trying to get at her. That’s when she made a decision…

“I got into that stall, flipped on my back, and I tried to kick the door lock shut with my foot,” Herron said. But she missed the lock and jammed the door. Steiner entered the stall from the side and, she said, “started beating me in the face with his hand.”

She had a moment of clarity when she realized, she said, “this doesn’t have to be a fair fight” and began to scratch his face.

“All those little things that I learned in my life … how to punch and everything came back to me,” she said. “I started to feel like I was going to lose consciousness … but I got another surge of adrenaline, and I reached for the door and was able to get out.”

A passerby then helped her lock Steiner in the bathroom with a carabiner.

Take a look at how the struggle with her attacker played out on her GPS as well as some of the wounds she suffered…

She wrote…

My biggest running nightmare became reality- 4 miles into my long run Sunday afternoon, I stopped to use the restroom and was assaulted by a man hiding in a stall (that is my GPS in red lines). I fought for my life screaming(“Not today, M**F**er!”), clawing his face, punching back, and desperately trying to escape his grip- never giving up. I was able to lock him in the bathroom until police arrived. Thankfully I just took a self-defense class offered at my work and utilized all of it. My face is stitched, my body is bruised, but my spirit is intact.

So what sort of things did she use and remember from her self-defense class that helped her escape?

“I learned hard bones and soft fleshy places, so I just started hitting the side of his head,” said Herron.

Awesome.

According to court documents, Steiner is being held in jail on $750,000 bail on charges of attempted rape in the second degree and second degree assault.
