The victim of the attack was found by police covered in blood and crying, prosecutors said during the suspect's arraignment on Monday.
Prosecutors said that several witnesses heard the sound of the woman screaming, and saw a man allegedly dragging her in a choke hold down the street, then punching her in the head as he sat on top of her.Police say the victim’s pants had been pulled down, and as Sykes was allegedly attempting to rip more of her clothing off, one man who lives nearby stepped in and began fighting off her attacker.
"I've never seen anything like that before ever, her face was so bloody," Holder recalls."I say 'get off of her.' he didn’t get off of her. He said, 'I have a gun, I'm gonna shoot.'"Shortly after Holder stepped in, officers arrived, arresting Sykes a few blocks away, after a short foot chase, according to police. Officers found the woman covered in blood, with lacerations to her face and injury to her nose, prosecutors said.
"I thank Boston Police for their quick response and arrest and I am especially grateful for this Good Samaritan’s courageous action,” Hayden added."I'm not a hero," Holder said."What I am, I am happy that she's okay." "Even after we started fighting no one jumped in," he said, adding that a lot of the witnesses did record video on their cell phones, which could be used as evidence in the case.
