An off-duty US navy sailor wrestled a bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he attempted to rape her at knife point, a court heard yesterday.

Prosecutors said that she knocked the knife from his hand, broke it in two, bit him in the hand, forced him to the ground and locked him between her thighs.

The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai and was attacked as she returned to the port where she was based after a day shopping....

“A non-Muslim beating up a Muslim could normally be in severe trouble, regardless of circumstances. Given that she’s US military, different rules would likely apply. “

Not the first time. Heard about something similar in Saudi. They had her out of the country INSTANTLY. In her case it was Vice/Virtue Police that rapped her exposed ankle from behind. She didn’t know who it was and proceeded to DECK the person. Then she got to base and was out of there in a heartbeat.

Sounds similar to a story from Jeff Cooper (famous gun writer and trainer), from 1995:
We have a good anecdote from our neighbor and colleague, Colonel Bob Young, who did a stint not long ago in Saudi Arabia. It seems that on this occasion an American aircraft was parked on a runway, and being rather a sensitive item it was given an individual sentry to keep unauthorized personnel at a proper distance. In a demonstration of bad judgement, somebody in charge gave this job to a girl soldier, the idea of which is extremely offensive to a devout Muslim. In Saudi Arabia at this time the purity of the faith is enforced by priestly types who prowl the country on the lookout for violations of doctrine. These characters are armed with long, heavy whips. One of them wandered onto the base and became totally scandalized at the sight of this girl patrolling the aircraft with her M16. Shouting holy imprecations, he endeavored to use his whip on the lass, who quite reasonably shot him six times in the chest with her 223. International Incident! Bob tells us that the Air Force moved with uncharacteristic alacrity and got the girl out of the country in a matter of minutes, and the whole incident was immediately swept under the rug. It is hard to say who won that round, but it recalls the principles of Hastings' Third Law, which reads

"Do not throw rocks at people with guns."

Always loved Colonel Cooper's way with words.
Really miss the final page of Guns and Ammo magazine, *Cooper's Corner*, back in the day.

Good story. Yes, and don’t take a whip to a gunfight.

Aww, don't be oversensitive. An average American woman of average height who took ballet lessons or played soccer in childhood (strong thighs) and had military training in young adulthood (stronger than average upper body -- for a woman) can beat a skinny 21-year-old drunk dress-wearing guy raised on vegetables and goat.

I am a short woman, but have renovated a bunch of properties and can haul 5-gallon buckets of paint around, lift beams above my head and push furniture with my leg strength. Doesn't make me any less attractive to secure men. If a woman doesn't want to be raped and has the sand to avoid it, what's not to love?

Yeah, I’ll bet he thought it was a “strangehold”.
