Friday's attack of a woman on a trail at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia was the first time such a thing has happened there in 40 years. That's according to some of the employees working in the popular facility.
"You have to be aware, everywhere," said UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson.
The woman who was targeted Friday afternoon had her wits about her, authorities have said, because she managed to elude a tall, slim white man, thought to be college age. He came at her with a knife and threated to rape her, but she got away and he fled.
