Woman thwarts rape with triangle choke, wins cash reward for jiu-jitsu justice

Score another one for the good guys! Er, gals in this case.

A woman who was attacked while walking home late one evening prevented her own rape by using a triangle choke to thwart her assailant. In addition to her victory in the streets of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, the unnamed defender was also awarded £500 pounds by the courts.

Her first-hand account direct from The Telegraph (via Bloody Elbow):

"I could feel him grabbing between my legs and pulling at my clothes. My legs were still free so I lifted my left leg up onto his shoulder and around the back of his neck.
