On February 16, local time, an American girl named Nashali Alma became the focus of European and American media, and the 24-year-old "became famous overnight", although this was not her intention.
What happened to Nasari, 24, reportedly happened in late January when she was working out in a gym in her "Inwood Park" apartment building in Tampa, Florida.
According to surveillance video in the gym, Nasari was carrying a barbell to do a squat, and when she found a man outside the door who wanted to come in, she ran over and opened the door for her, but did not expect that this time it was "leading wolves into the room".
Nasari recalled that she thought the man was coming to the gym and might have forgotten to bring the key card, so she kindly helped open the door.
When Nasari wanted to continue exercising, the man walked straight up to her, said she was beautiful and wanted to have sex with her, and immediately threw himself at her.
Nasari resisted, and despite never taking any self-defense classes (but now she says she is considering one), she did her best. "I kept hitting him with my phone, my hand, pushing him to the ground, rubbing his beard, I just kept hitting him, kept moving, so he didn't have a chance."
But in fact, Nasari did not completely have the advantage, from the surveillance video, she was once overwhelmed by the man to the ground, but fortunately she was strong enough to quickly run to the door after getting up again and calling the police.
This was the bearded man who wanted to assault Nasari, a man named Xavier Thomas-Jones, who was only 25 years old despite his "full hair."
Less than 24 hours after Nasari called the police, Xavier was reportedly arrested. He confessed to the police that he had beaten and attempted to assault Nasari. In addition, he targeted a second woman with an unnamed name, but was scared away by the other party's fiancé and was filmed as evidence. It is reported that Xavier has been detained on charges of assault, false imprisonment, burglary and kidnapping.
The police chief said he was disgusted by Xavier's actions, but also praised Nasari's bravery and fearlessness, thanking her, "I am grateful that she can stand up and it will inspire other women."
Nasari was also calm about what she was going through, saying in an interview: "I'm a bodybuilder and I'm actually very strong, so in my opinion, he's about the same as me", "My advice is to never give up, my parents always tell me in life never give up anything, it's one thing I always keep in mind when fighting him".
Nasali's boldness and calmness also made netizens send great praise, and her strong and toned figure is also amazing, especially the muscular legs, which look very powerful, no wonder she is not afraid of danger.
"I believe I have the strength and the mentality to fight back. Through all my fitness work and bodybuilding, I'm much stronger than I thought I could have been, and I'm proud to be a bodybuilder." In this way, bodybuilding is not only for good looks, but also for self-defense.
While Nasari's performance is commendable, not all situations can be tough, and it is important that women are always vigilant and do not easily create opportunities for strangers to approach them.
In fact, this time Nasari is still quite dangerous, but if she hadn't opened the door for Xavier at that time, she might have avoided what happened later. It is generally accepted that in addition to having a "I will fight back" attitude, women should also be careful of strangers and people they meet by chance.
