Just one week into classes at East Carolina University and already police officers are investigating an on-campus assault.
ECU police say a woman at Fletcher residence hall opened the door for a man who posed as a resident and said he left his key. A witness says, once inside he followed the woman to the bathroom and attacked her.
Mike Rose says he heard screams and quickly took action. Rose says, "When I go in there he started strangling her, telling her he was going to kill her. I kicked him in the face as hard as I could and he released her."
Rose and two other residents held the woman's assailant down. Michael Mewborn, 27 years-old, is now charged with assault with the intent to kill. He's in the Pitt County Detention Center under a $750,000 bond.
