The barking of a stray dog caused a man who was threatening to rape a 32-year-old accountant to take to his heels around 1.30 am at Tungareshwar gully in Vasai on June 30, according to the police. The alleged assailant, Sandeep Khot, 35, who is nearly seven feet tall, approached the woman from behind under the cover of darkness, pushed her to the ground, covered her mouth and threatened to rape her, a police officer told mid-day.
However, according to the police, a stray dog in the vicinity began barking at the accused, startling the attacker and causing his grip to loosen. Seizing the opportunity, the woman managed to push the assailant away and ran towards the main road, successfully escaping further harm, though the accused escaped with her iPhone.
