The incident happened just after midnight on Sunday, September 8.
"He hit me, but surprisingly it didn't hurt," the victim said.
It was a fight with possible rapist, when this 21-year-old woke up to a strange man in her bed in her first floor apartment, and the adrenaline kicked in.
"There was a struggle and I got out of the room. When I got back into my room the window was open and he was gone," the victim said.
Gone, after this 21-year-old realized he wasn't that much bigger than her and gave him a run for his money. And police believe they spotted him in a surveillance video.
It happened about half past midnight Sunday morning near the intersection on Leonard and Metropolitan Avenues in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
"I came home, then I fell asleep. When I woke up there was a guy in my room, his hand over my mouth," the victims said.
She says he hit her when she tried to scream, they struggled some more and then she eventually overpowered him.
"My right to privacy should not be compromised because I didn't have curtains on the first night that I spent in my apartment. And my right to being a person shouldn't be compromised about that," the victim said.
