   A woman who was allegedly raped by a teenager while he was out of jail on bond   
   is speaking about the attack.   
      
   She told Channel 2 Action News she was jogging last week when someone knocked   
   her out and raped her for about 20 minutes. AJC.com does not identify victims   
   of sexual assault unless they choose to identify themselves, which she did not.   
      
   “I’m still in shock,” she said. “It was just a vicious attack, and I   
   think he would’ve killed me eventually. I probably had a few more minutes   
   left in me.”   
      
   About 9 a.m. Thursday, two days after 17-year-old D’Shawn Garrison bonded   
   out of the Fulton County Jail on a theft charge, authorities say the teen   
   raped the 54-year-old woman along Abner Place in northwest Atlanta.

   The woman told Channel 2 the attack came out of nowhere and was something she   
   never expected to happen, especially early in the morning.   
      
   “He grabbed me by the hair, and I bent over, and that’s when he started   
   punching me,” she said. “He punched me many times. He knocked me out a few   
   times, and then he choked me a number of times.”   
      
   She told the news station she was then sexually assaulted for about 20 minutes   
   before a good Samaritan saw what was happening and came to her rescue. Her   
   hero, as she called him, was Jamal Wheeler.   
      
   “He saved my life,” she said. “He says he’s not a hero, but he   
   actually saved my life.”   
      
   Wheeler told Channel 2 Garrison tried to escape on a scooter when he ran over   
   to stop the sexual assault.   
      
   “He tried to run to the scooter, and that’s when the victim — she   
   grabbed the back of the scooter,” Wheeler told Channel 2. “He was   
   literally getting on the scooter and I had to grab him, so he wouldn’t get   
   anywhere.”   
      
   “I’m not a hero. I just feel like I stopped him from doing more.” -   
   Witness Jamal Wheeler saw what was happening and answered the call for help.

   Garrison was charged with rape, aggravated assault by strangulation, battery   
   that caused substantial physical harm and interference with government   
   property, jail records show. This time he was denied bond.   
      
   On May 5, officers spotted Garrison in a car that had been stolen at gunpoint   
   in Forest Park the previous night, according to an Atlanta police incident   
   report obtained by AJC.com. He was arrested after a brief chase near Baker   
   Road on a charge of theft    
   by receiving stolen property.   
      
   At the time, Garrison was wearing an ankle monitor as a condition of a bond he   
   received after an armed robbery arrest when he was 14, Channel 2 reported.   
   Before he was booked May 5, he briefly escaped custody, only to turn himself   
   in a few hours later,    
   police said. The alleged escape resulted in an additional charge of escaping   
   custody.   
      
   Garrison was released from jail May 7, two days before the jogger was   
   attacked, on a $17,500 signature bond, according to jail records.   
      
   District Attorney Paul Howard said Garrison never should have received bond   
   because he had 13 prior arrests.
