Terrifying video of woman defending herself against an attacker in a gym is revealed

A 24-year-old Florida woman fought off a man who tried to assault her in a gym and the footage was captured on video.

According to the report from authorities, the man in question was waiting at the door of the apartment complex’s gym and she was the one who went to open the door for him.

Moments later, while she was exercising on a machine, the individual approached her and attempted to grab her by the waist… which he ended up bitterly regretting.

The man tackled her to the ground, while Alma continued to hit him, while contacting the police. The suspect, 25-year-old Xavier Thomas-Jones (a Detroit Red Wings fan), eventually let go and fled to an apartment.

Less than 24 hours later, he was arrested by police and will face charges of sexual assault, imprisonment and kidnapping.
