Attacker fled
A woman awoke in her Gloucester Street flat early yesterday to find an intruder sitting astride her and holding a blanket across her throat. The attacker threatened the woman, aged 29, but fled when he realised that someone else was in the room. A». police spokesman said that the woman lived alone, but on Tuesday night had had two guests staying with her. This had probably saved her from what the police believe was an attempt at rape. The . intruder entered through a window and took a knife from the kitchen‘into the bedroom. ,He was described as a Polynesian, aged in his mid20s, and roughly dressed.
