She described the man as African-American with a hefty build. Both women were able to fight their attacker and get away. The second woman ran to a nearby convenience store. “She came in, I asked her what was wrong and she said that she had just been assaulted, so I called 911,” said cashier Jana Blake. “She said that she hit the guy because he hit her once in the jaw and once in the forehead.” Jackson police searched the area but did not find anyone.
