‘He will pay for what he did’: 79-year-old put in headlock before potential rapist scared away

A search is underway for a teenager Houston police believe robbed and attempted to rape at least two women in the Greenspoint area this month.

According to the Houston Police Department, the first attack happened at an apartment complex off of Aldine Bender Road near Airline Drive on Sept. 6.

The armed man, who police believe is 17 to 19 years old, robbed and sexually assaulted a woman in the parking lot. The woman was able to escape and run off. The suspect was captured on surveillance video picking up his gun and running from the complex.

At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 12, HPD believes the teenager did the same to another woman at an apartment complex less than half a mile from the initial attack.
