MIAMI (WPLG) – Police are looking for a man who tried to rape a smoke shop employee.
The victim was eventually able to fight off her attacker using a plunger.
“The only thing I had in my brain is that I didn’t want no one to force me to have something with him if I didn’t want it,” the victim said.
On Nov. 9, a man without a shirt walked into a smoke shop in Miami.
What follows is a horrifying attempted rape caught on surveillance camera.
He dragged the clerk to the back room and she was pleading with him.
Her cries continue but she is able to fight him off with a plunger.
“There was nothing that could get him to stop. The only thing that got him to stop was that I, it came up to my mind to tell him that I pressed the button of an emergency and that the police was already coming that scared him away a little bit but then he came back again,” she said.
After the attack, you can hear the devastation in the victim’s voice.
Police hope the public can help them identify the man.
“It was the worst thing ever and like I said, no girl should ever go through something like that. That’s why I want him in jail,” the victim said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
