Nashali Alma, 24, recalls the moment she fought off a man who allegedly tried to rape her in her apartment complex in Tampa on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
"Whenever it was happening, I wasn't really fearful at all in my head. It was just I got to fight him. I got to do something, you know, and he was equal to me. He was bigger than me. He wasn't anything more than my size. And I kind of took that to my advantage, to my own head. And I fought him," Alma said Thursday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." Ashley Carnahan is a production assistant at Fox News Digital.
The suspect Xavier Thomas-Jones, 25, grabbed her and pinned her to floor, telling deputies after that he intended to rape her. Alma is seen on video fighting back as she attempts to dial 911.
She was able to get away from Jones after repeatedly hitting him and "yanking out his beard hairs" before escaping and running outside to a nearby apartment.
