>> UNBELIEVABLE.
LUCKILY, MANDY BASS MADE IT OUT
OF HER DOOR AND INTO THE ARMS OF
THE POLICE, WHO WERE WAITING
OUTSIDE.
MANDY IS HERE WITH US NOW.
AND THE MAN WHO ATTACKED HER
WILL JOIN US IN A MOMENT.
MANDY HAS BRITAWRITTEN HA BOOK ABOUT
HER EXPERIENCE.
"TAMING THE TAKOLASH."
WE'LL GET TO THE TIGHT OFFICIAL
THE BOOK IN A SECOND.
THAT CONFUSED SOME OF US.
YOU WALK US THROUGH THE MOMENTS
WHEN YOU KNEW YOU WERE UNDER
ATTACK.
DID YOU THINK HE WAS GOING TO
KILL YOU?
>> YES.
I KNEW IF I DIDN'T GET OUT, I
WAS SURE I WAS GOING TO DIE THAT
DAY.
>> YOU FEEL THE REASON YOU LIVED
IS YOU WERE ABLE TO BLOCK HIM
WITH THAT CHAIR AND RUN.
>> YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO WAY TO
KNOW.
BUT I'M VERY HAPPY THAT I WAS
ABLE TO BLOCK WITH MY ARM.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE WAS SOMETHING
GOING ON, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT.
>> THIS IS EVERYONE'S WORST
NIGHTMARE.
IN THE SAFETY OF YOUR OWN HOME,
NOT DOING ANYTHING, TO BE
ATTACKED WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR
LIFE.
THE TRAUMA THAT COMES FROM THAT
PHYSICALLY IS ONE THING.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA IS MORE
SIGNIFICANT.
>> YEAH.
THE PHYSICAL INJURIES WITHIN A
COUPLE OF MONTHS HAD PRETTY
MUCH -- I HAD MADE MY WAY
THROUGH THEM.
BUT EMOTIONALLY, YOU KNOW, I WAS
VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
SOME SKILLS AND PEOPLE AROUND ME
WHO REALLY HELPED ME WITH THE
TRAUMA.
BUT EMOTIONALLY, IT WAS A VERY,
VERY DIFFICULT TIME AND VERY
DIFFICULT TO DO ORDINARY THINGS.
AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS, IT WAS --
I WAS AFRAID TO LEAVE THE HOUSE
AFTERWARDS.
EVEN THOUGH THE ATTACK HAD
HAPPENED --
>> DOESN'T SOUND CRAZY.
>> EVEN THOUGH THE ATTACK
HAPPENED INSIDE THE HOUSE, I
MADE THAT MY LITTLE FORTRESS.
>> YOU RUN OUTSIDE, THE POLICE
ARE THERE.
THE POLICE HAD BEEN THERE,
SITTING OUTSIDE, WHILE SHE WAS
GETTING ATTACKED.
THEY SAY, BECAUSE OF PROTOCOL.
THEY SAW HIM RUN INTO YOUR
HOUSE?
>> THEY SAW HIM BREAK THE
WINDOW.
THEY SAW HIM GET OVER THE FENCE.
AND THEY WITNESSED HIM -- THAT'S
WHAT THE POLICE REPORT SAYS,
THEY SAW HIM BREAK MY WINDOW.
AND YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I WASN'T AWARE THAT THEY WERE
OUT UNTIL I ESCAPED FROM THE
HOUSE.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE OUT
THERE THE WHOLE TIME.
>> WE REACHED OUT TO THE POLICE
FOR COMMENT.
I MEAN, THEY WERE THERE WHILE
SHE WAS GETTING BRUTALLY
ATTACKED.
AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED OUR
CALLS.
PREVIOUSLY, THEY SAID IT WAS
BECAUSE OF PROTOCOL, WAITING FOR
BACKUP, WAITING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE SITUATION WAS, WHAT
THEY WOULD BE RUNNING INTO, AND
SO ON.
YOU WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO
TREATMENT FOR YOUR INJURIES AND
YOU HAD TO RETURN HOME, TELL US
WHAT THE SCENE WAS WHEN YOU
WALKED BACK INTO THAT HOME BY
YOURSELF.
>> IT WAS A REALLY COLD NIGHT.
AND THE WINDOW HAD BEEN BROKEN.
THE POLICE HAD SECURED THE HOUSE
WITH THE HURRICANE SHUTTER.
BUT IT WAS COLD.
YOU COULD FEEL THE WIND COMING
THROUGH.
WHEN WE WALKED IN, IT WAS REALLY
EERIE.
A YOUNG POLICE OFFICER TOOK ME
THROUGH THE HOUSE, TURNED ON ALL
THE LIGHTS AND LEFT.
I WAS THERE WITH THIS BROKEN
WINDOW.
THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE.
THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE.
AND WHEN I HAD LEFT THE
HOSPITAL, THEY HAD WANTED ME TO
STAY.
AND I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE MY
CATS -- I HAVE TWO CATS.
AND I HAD ASKED THE POLICE, I
WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THEM WHEN
I WAS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
AND I WAS SAYING, PLEASE MAKE
SURE MY CATS ARE OKAY.
WHEN I LEFT, I WAS AFRAID TO
LEAVE THEM.
>> AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, MANDY
WAS VERY ANGRY ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER.
AND SHE DID SOMETHING WITH THAT
ANGER.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT NEXT, WHEN
WE MEET THE MAN WHO ATTACKED
HER.
AND HIS BACK STORY WILL STUN
YO
He's a NASCAR Champion who's faced thousands of drivers.
She's a world-class swimmer
who's stared down the best in her sport.
But for both of them, the most challenging opponent was...
PE blood clots in my lung. It was really scary.
A DVT in my leg.
I had to learn all I could to help protect myself.
My doctor and I choose XARELTO�
XARELTO�... to help keep me protected.
XARELTO� is a latest-generation blood thinner...
...that's proven to treat and reduce the risk of DVT
and PE blood clots from happening again.
In clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on XARELTO�
did not experience another DVT or PE.
Here's how XARELTO works.
XARELTO� works differently.
Warfarin interferes with at least
six blood-clotting factors.
XARELTO� is selective...
...targeting just one critical factor,
interacting with less of your body's natural
blood-clotting function.
Don't stop taking XARELTO� without talking to your doctor
as this may increase risk of blood clots.
While taking, you may bruise more easily,
or take longer for bleeding to stop.
It may increase your risk of bleeding
if you take certain medicines.
XARELTO� can cause serious,
and in rare cases, fatal bleeding.
Get help right away for unexpected bleeding,
unusual bruising, or tingling.
If you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain
or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms.
Do not take XARELTO�
if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.
Tell your doctor before all planned
medical or dental procedures
and before starting XARELTO� about any conditions,
such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems.
You've got to learn all you can...
...to help protect yourself from DVT and PE blood clots.
Talk to your doctor about XARELTO�.
There's more to know.
