On June 21, a 21-year-old undocumented man from sub-Saharan Africa forced his way into a motorhome and severely beat a 44-year-old German tourist, cutting her face and attempting sexual assault before a bystander's horn scared him off. Police arrived in two minutes, aided the injured woman, and pursued the suspect who swam 100 meters into rough waters and began drowning. Five officers swam out in their underwear, pulled him back to shore despite his resistance, and he now faces charges of sexual assault and grievous bodily harm in pre-trial detention. Authorities praised the rapid response that saved both the victim from worse harm and the suspect to face justice.
