A Warrington woman says was attacked in the woman’s bathroom at the Horsham Library on Tuesday evening.

The victim, a young woman, said she washing her hands at about 6:30 p.m. when a man suddenly emerged from the stall behind her.

He allegedly tried to slam the woman’s head into the stall door, but the victim said was able to fight him off.

She said that she screamed and punched him and was able to free herself, running out of the bathroom into the library.

The victim added that “shortly after” she escaped the suspect fled the scene in a silver van.

Police responded to the scene and are investigating the incident, the library said.

The victim shared her story online on Tuesday night and it spread quickly across the Internet. Her Facebook post had 6,004 shares and 714 likes as of late Wednesday evening.

There were no injuries reported.
