"I could feel the knife although I couldn't see it under my collar."

"I fought him off with both hands while screaming at him,” she said, adding that her attacker, who looked foreign, had been in a grey Toyota Vios.

Tina said her attacker had not attempted to grab her handphone or handbag and he and his accomplice had made an illegal U-turn and sped off towards the city centre after the failed kidnapping attempt.

No one came to her aid even though several cars stopped at the red light

A couple in a black Toyota Alphard finally came to her assistance and took her to the Pantai Hospital KL, as well as calling a policeman to record her statement.
