London
(ANI):
Opera
singer
Katherine
Jenkins
broke
down
in
tears
on
TV,
while
narrating
how
she
once
fought
off
an
attacker
who
tried
to
rape
her.
The
Welsh
singer
revealed
that
she
was
punched
and
kicked
by
a
man
when
she
was
a
young
music
student.
In
an
interview
with
Piers
Morgan,
Katherine,
29,
said
that
she
feared
for
her
life
but
managed
to
escape
from
his
clutches,
even
after
being
thrown
against
a
wall.
“I"d
been
out
with
my
classmates
from
the
Royal
Academy
[of
Music]
when
somehow
or
other
we
got
split
up
on
the
way
home," The
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying
while
recalling
the
attempted
rape.
“I
was
walking
across
the
bridge,
near
Paddington,
and
as
I
crossed
this
sort
of
gangway
which
went
down
to
the
station
I
felt
suddenly
someone
too
close
to
me
and
he,
within
seconds,
was
in
front
of
me
trying
to
drag
me
down
this
gangway
and
the
police
believe
that
he
was
trying
to
rape
me,"
she
added.
The
singer
struggled
with
her
tears,
as
she
described
how
she
found
the
strength
to
escape
his
clutches.
“I
think
you
either
freeze
or
you
fight
and
I
wanted
to
kill
him.
I
was
so
angry
about
it,"
she
said.
During
the
ensuing
struggle
she
had
to
endure
a
horrific
attack
before
finally
breaking
free
and
fleeing
in
her
high
heels.
However,
the
star
was
not
able
to
identify
her
attacker.
