Cops: Man beats, tries to rape 81-year-old
An 81-year-old woman's bed became the scene of a living nightmare last week in Southwest Philadelphia when she was awoken by a naked man who beat her and attempted to rape her, police said.
The victim was asleep in her house on 51st Street near Kingsessing Avenue in the city's Kingsessing section when she woke up around 10 p.m. to a strange man on top of her who was trying to rape her, according to police.
During a struggle, the sicko, who has not been identified, punched the elderly woman in the face several times and choked her before fleeing out the back door, police said. According to a relative of the victim, the attacker was in her house for nearly two hours. Police were called to the scene around midnight.
Investigators said it appears the assailant gained entry to the house by breaking in through a first-floor window.
The offender is described only as a dark-complexioned black man with gray hair.

The sicko? What is this, a private blog?— suporma - do you disagree that this guy's a sicko? typical bleeding-heart liberal, defending scum like this
— oliver north - suporma is right. "sicko" is editorializing. surprised this even slipped by the copy desk.

- oliver north - you don't know what you're talking about. of course the guy is a sicko but that's not what ought to appear in a news article. it's editorializing. you sound about 12 years old with your insults.
- I disagree with your inability to understand that personal insults and remarks on an informative publication is poor journalism. What it should read "During a struggle, the ASSAILANT, who has not been identified". Typical poorly educated conservatives (see, I can make assumptions too).— suporma
- When I was young I used to visit my aunt and uncle in that neighborhood. I recall a clean, friendly area with tidy tree-lined streets. Civility and cordiality abounded. Now that place is a stinking toilet. What a shame.— Disco Dave
