"Moments later, three good Samaritan women heard the victim screaming for help and went to her aid. During the attack, one of the women reportedly struck the suspect in the head with a rock, and together, they helped pull the victim away from her attacker," said Akron police in a press release. 

“This was a violent attack, and my office will work hard to hold this offender accountable,” said Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich in a statement. “I also want to thank the three good Samaritans who came to the victim’s rescue and helped capture the suspect.”
