'I was in a fight, flight or freeze and I chose to fight.'
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA — Police in Iowa have announced the man they believe to be connected to the assault of former Arizona Senator Martha McSally has been taken into custody early Friday morning.
"The man came up behind me and he engulfed me in a bear hug and he molested and followed me until I fought him off. Then I chased him down. I said a lot of swear words in this moment. I was in a fight, flight or freeze and I chose to fight." McSally said. "I ran after him and chased him into the brush where he was hiding as I called 9-1-1 and waited for the police to come," McSally said."I'm OK, but in this moment, I just wanted to share that I chose to fight."Council Bluffs police announced Henton was taken into custody early Friday morning by Omaha, Nebraska police.
Civia Tamarkin, the President of the National Council of Jewish Women, who helped establish Ruth Place, a sexual violence and trauma center in Scottsdale, said McSally's military training and circumstances worked to her benefit.
