EVIL STRANGER TRIED TO RAPE WOMAN AT BUS STOP
A stranger who strangled a woman and gouged her eyes as he tried to rape her at a bus stop has been jailed for nine years.
Ian Hudson, 42, stalked the woman in her 60s before launching a "violent and sexual" attack in Sunderland on 30 December, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
The five-minute long ordeal only ended when a passing student chased Hudson down and restrained him.
The victim said she believed she was going to be killed, adding she had now seen "evil" and it terrified her.
Hudson had denied wrongdoing but was found guilty of attempted rape, sexual assault, assault and strangulation.
Having been deemed dangerous, Hudson will have to serve a further five years on extended licence upon his eventual release from prison.
