Depicted in the video confronting the suspect, the woman shared the intense adrenaline and fear she felt during the encounter.

"It happened so fast and my adrenaline was super bad. I was like, 'I'm gonna kill you,' so I punched him in the face," the alleged victim said. "If that picture got around, it wouldn't just be me in that picture—it would also be my son."
