A woman was attacked in Belmopan this weekend but luckily she got away. It happened on Saturday night in San Martin around 10. 27 year old Lorytha Martinez left her house to buy food when a man approached her near the corner of San Martin Road and Guadalupe Street near the old fire station. The man grabbed her hand and tried pulling her in the nearby bushes threatening her with a knife saying, "I'm going to kill you." During the struggle she fell to the grass at the same time the assailant jumped on top of her pinning her head to the ground. But the sound of an approaching motorcycle, caused the assailant to flee the scene, escaping through the bushes. Martinez immediately ran to a nearby house and called police. Belmopan police urge residents to refrain from walking alone especially at night and to be very observant of their surroundings.
