Once there, he demanded she have sex with him.

When the woman refused and begged him to take her home, the defendant became enraged and attacked her, breaking her nose and then attempting to rape her in the car.

She fought him off and managed to get out from under him and escaped the vehicle.

Duchi got to her again and kicked and punched her while she was on the ground.

Police said he stomped on her and broke her collarbone.

A passerby heard her screams and called 911. Two other people in the area came to her aid and pulled Duchi off of her.

Police arrived within minutes and Duchi was taken into custody at the scene.
