I was out having a beer or two on Friday night and ran into a guy I had previously met a few years ago at a Hostel in the US while I was travelling.

I stayed there for about 8 weeks and had the odd beer with this guy and others during my stay. The majority of our conversations revolved around our home country and also women, so there was nothing untoward.

He was surprised to see me in Tokyo and told of his travels to another city. I have good friends down there and he said he knew them.

I asked him what he was up to and he said he was leaving Japan that day but lived quite far away. I have a 2 bedroom place, which is nearby, so I offered him the spare room for a few hours until he had to go.

I made the offer in good faith since he was a country man, I had known him previously and he had stayed in his fair share of hostels.

Upon arriving at my apartment (ground floor), I showed him the spare room and went to get something to eat. I was quite drunk and also needed some water. I return to my room and he is on the bed in only his underwear. He made some comment about the bed being comfortable.

I said yeah it was, too bad he was staying in the other room. He made some comment about where he was staying and I was exhausted, so I just lay down and attempted to sleep.

Soon after he asked me if I had ever thought about experimenting with men. I said absolutely no way and that I was only into "bitches," to which he replied, "I have my bitch right here" and tried to grab me.

With that, I jumped up from the bed and raced down the hallway, but he chased me and grabbed me in a headlock. He also had a BB pellet gun which he put to my head and said he would kill me.

I was drunk and quite scared, but could hear the plastic pellets rattling in the gun, so knew it was a bluff.

I tried to break the headlock, but he got me again. At which time he said he wanted to rape me and we could do it the easy way or the hard way. I asked him why me and he said it was because of my association with the guys in the town he had been previously living.

I said ok, but I need some water first. Then he said, I know there is a kitchen knife in there, I am not stupid.

I am still in the headlock, but tried to start moving towards the fron door, which was locked.

The next thing, I grabbed his arm, broke the headlock and punched him flush in the face at least 3 times in rapid succession. This was long enought for me to get the front door open and bang on my neighbours door. He chased me out into the foyer (ground floor) where I punched him again multiple times and we struggled.

At this time he hit me on the back of the head with the pellet gun, then fled out the front door into the typhoon wearing only his underwear.

The blow to the back of my head caused a cut, so I was bleeding. I went back inside and called the police, who arrived and took me down to the station.

I since learned from my friends in the other city, that this guy had stolen a large sum of money from that and was additionally wanted in the US, Mexico and Canada. I also learned that he had supposedly escaped from a prison in Mexico.

My building has a security door and I am confident he will be unable to remember how to locate the building. My friend in the other city told me I would have more worried about him blind siding me on the street. There is one area in Tokyo with the highest concentration of foreign people go out, so I will refrain from going back there.

Whilst I think I made a mistake in inviting him to my house, I had no reason to suspect he would attempt anything like that.

He was slightly shorter than me, but quite stocky, so I feel quite fortuanate I was able to fight him off. I think it was the thought of what could have happened that scares me the most.

I have had some symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I am glad you fought your way out of this, but sadly previous SA, makes us the target for these people all our lives, I remember walking home from a club, a two mile hike, I was in my twenties.

A car pulled up and offered me a lift, there were two guys in it, I stupidly agreed, we talked and they offered to take me into the next town for a good time, the car luckily had to stop at traffic lights, and I yanked on the parking break and escaped quickly out of the door.

I hope you find this guy gets caught and sent out of the country so you never see him again, I know the feeling of him coming down your street, but hopefully you scared him off.

take care
