What a Nutter, I'd bet money it's a younger sexually frustrated guy. Glad she'll be okay

What an unpleasant surprise attack! It must have been a really shocked event for the woman. Good thing she's escaped with a minor injury.

I remember when I was an ALT at a jr. high in Tohoku and our office got this thing that you were supposed to used to stop those guys with, basically a horseshoe on the end of a pole. We had a training one afternoon on how to use it, the idea being to pin the guy up against a wall by his throat.
I asked "Seems a little hard when the guy is flailing around, is it OK to just swing the thing at the guy and crack him in the side of the head with it?"
"Yes, that would work, too." I was told.
"How about if you just pickup the fax machine over there and bash him in the face with it? Is that OK?"
"Yes, that would be fine as well."

Was this in the same place as the old boy who turned up at a school recently with a knife complaining about the noise?....
