Danish teen faces fine for fighting off attacker with pepper spray
A 17-year-old girl will face charges for using pepper spray to fend off a man who tried to rape her.
Meanwhile the “dark-skinned” man who attacked her fled the scene and isn’t facing any charge.
The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg, Denmark, on Wednesday at around 10pm by a dark-skinned English-speaking man. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.
Thankfully, she was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble.
A local police spokesman said, “It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely be charged for that”.
But then, many fellow citizens have risen to back the teenage girl who the law seems to stand against.
Many readers wrote in the comments section on TV Syd’s story about the incident that they would be willing to pay the girl’s fine, which will most likely be 500 kroner..
