A Leeds girl who disarmed a sex offender while he held her at knifepoint has spoken about the “scary” and "weird" experience, which saw her attacker flee the scene after she took out her phone camera to take pictures of him.
Alexandra Muresan from Beeston, now 19 and working at a bar, was 15 at the time of the incident on the morning of Friday, February 15 2019. She was on her way to Mount St Mary’s Catholic High School, in East End Park, through a ginnel near Torre Drive when she was approached from behind by a stranger, Nathan Rawson.
Rawson grabbed hold of Alexandra by the waist, held a knife to her waist and told her to “come with him”. Speaking to Leeds Live, Alexandra said: “I was scared, really scared. In my head, I thought it was over for me and I was going to die. That went through my head straight away.”
