For a year, a Berkeley woman wanted to tell her story of survival and how she helped police capture the man that sexually assaulted her.
But with the ongoing investigation and then the court proceedings, she felt she was silenced until now.
"When that man grabbed me, I was furious and I wasn't going to take it and I didn't want him to get away with it," Witkin said."I have a story to tell," she told KPIX."Name him. Get him caught. Don't protect him. Don't feel ashamed. He should feel ashamed. Actions have consequences." "So I knelt down l, I grabbed my phone out of my back pack and I chased him down around the corner," she said."Then I took a picture of him from the side. Then I was chasing him with a phone in my hand."The suspect had already left the scene by the time officers arrived. While Berkeley Police investigated the case, she took another step to find her attacker.
