A Good Samaritan who stopped the attack said the suspect looked like he was possessed by demons.
A 30-year-old man allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in broad daylight along a downtown Long Beach sidewalk last Friday afternoon. Security camera footage showed the woman casually walking along the sidewalk on East Broadway when the suspect Miguel Avila jumped up from the ground and began to follow her. Dan MacIntyre was sitting around the corner when he began to sense something bad was about to happen when he saw the 30-year-old pursuing the woman.
As MacIntyre sat just a few feet from the suspect and victim, he noticed the man pick up speed. The soon-to-be Good Samaritan got a wretched feeling in his gut again and started to get ready to chase the possessed man away.Within seconds, Avila pulls up the woman's dress and grabs her just a stone's throw away from MacIntyre. The victim fell to the ground as the Good Samaritan jumped out of his seat and pulled a canister of pepper spray out. MacIntyre chased Avila away from the scene.
