The Chicago Tribune reports a doctor was able to get away from an attacker Monday evening by grabbing the attackers knife and stabbing him. The 30-year-old doctor was alone in her office when a man came in looking for directions to another office. The man then displayed a knife and forced the doctor to the floor. Police say she was able to disarm the man and cut him before he fled. She had been punched during the incident and suffered a wound to her thigh.
I like the descriptive words in the lead, but I think it gets to be a bit long. I found myself losing track of the main point while sorting through the details. The rest of the story is informative, and appears to be another inverted pyramid story. There is a partial quote used in the story from the police officer, but I'm not sure if it had to be used. The officer doesn't seem to say anything new (since we already know the doctor disarmed the man) or interesting, so maybe it could have just been paraphrased and attributed to the officer.
