When she got off at her bus stop, the man followed her in order to assault her.
"Suddenly, he grabbed my chest, I panicked I didn't know what to do, I kicked him in the face and he got stunned, then I got in two punches and he fell on a car, I shouted to my mom who was outside waiting and then she started running and called my father," she told Star tv.
“I was scared I was panicked and didn't know what to do. He was my dad's height, but I didn't notice him in my turmoil, he was around 24 - 25 years old. We had never seen him in Perama before," the 12-year-old said.
The young man, who tried to escape, was arrested by Perama police officers.
