Woman fights off attempted rapist

A violent pervert tried to rape a 20-year-old woman on a Brooklyn street early Friday – but she bravely fought him off..

The victim was walking on Saint Marks Avenue near Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights at 12:30 a.m., when the sicko grabbed her waist from behind and cupped his hand over her mouth, cops said Saturday.

He shoved her to the ground and tried to rip off her clothing, but the gutsy woman resisted and her attacker fled, according to police.

The suspect, who is believed to be about 19-years-old, stands 5-foot-6 and weighs approximately 160 pounds.

He has black hair and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts.
