What do you do to a rapist?

Philadelphia Inquirer: Rapist stabbed by his victim

After being raped inside her Germantown home by a stranger Friday afternoon, a woman persuaded her attacker to let her take her toddler upstairs - and when she returned, she had a knife.

Her attacker, a 51-year-old man whose name was withheld, was in critical condition Friday night at Albert Einstein Medical Center with a chest wound.

Police said the events leading up to the rape and the woman fighting back began about 2:30 p.m., when the man approached the woman's home in the 200 block of West Haines Street and asked if he could rake her leaves.
The 30-year-old woman, who was home alone with her 2-year-old child, declined, said Capt. John Darby of the Special Victims Unit.

The man then asked for a glass of water, which made the woman suspicious. She tried to shut the door, but the man forced his way inside and raped her at knifepoint, Darby said.

Darby said the woman then begged her attacker to allow her to put her child in an upstairs bedroom.

When she returned, she rammed the knife into the man's chest.
"After the man was injured, he ran a distance on the block and collapsed," Darby said.
