A pair of good Samaritans in Miami are being credited for helping save a woman who was targeted by an alleged rapist in a mall bathroom.
"Someone really dangerous is out," suspect Raziel Domingo Madrigal, 28, reportedly whispered as he locked a bathroom door at Brickell City Centre as one woman was left trapped alone with him, Local 10 reported.
Madrigal, who is 6 feet 6 inches tall, followed two women into a bathroom on the second floor of the mall near the Apple Store just ahead of 10 a.m. on Thursday, according to the police report. One woman managed to escape the bathroom while the other woman was trapped inside as Madrigal menacingly whispered at her.
The woman attempted to barricade herself in a stall, but the suspect allegedly managed to get to her, sit on top of her and hold her down, Local 10 reported. The woman continued trying to escape and scream, according to police, while Madrigal reportedly tried to pull her pants off.
