The first rule when it comes to safety on the street is to walk confidently. It has been found that speaking the right body language such as looking alert and confident will make attackers think twice about approaching you.:epic:

If you are approached from behind, one of the most effective ways to throw off your attacker is to run your heel down the front of their shin - the prominent bone found in the lower part of the leg.:whistle:

If your attacker grabs you from behind, another tactic is to throw your head back as far as possible and try to head butt your assailant's nose. You should try to jerk your head back - being careful not to jar your own neck :wacko: - and aim for the bridge of his nose. The theory is that your attacker releases you in order to grab hold of his painful nose - giving you vital seconds to run away.:oO:

It is recommended poking your finger into your attacker's windpipe - the part of the air passage found below the Adam's apple. Try to press your finger - rather than your thumb - into the space between the Adam's apple and the top of the breastbone as hard as possible. Pressing your finger into this part of the body is easier to do.

Stay safe...
