Two women who were abducted in north London and raped managed to escape by smashing a glass bottle over his head, according to reports.
Police are continuing to hunt for a suspect after the women were snatched at random in separate abductions - one of them in broad daylight - on Thursday.
The pair, both aged in their 20s, escaped the suspect after a struggle in Osborn Road, Watford, at about 2.30pm on the same day.
And one witness, named Matthew, told The Sun: "The two girls managed to escape from the car and hit their attacker over the head with a glass bottle.
"There was glass and blood all over the floor, one of the girls ran over into Top Build [a nearby tool shop] for help."
The suspect is described as white and having a muscular build.
Det Ch Insp Katherine Goodwin, who is leading the investigation, had said on Friday: "This was a terrifying ordeal for both women who were abducted by the suspect in separate areas.
"At this stage there is nothing to suggest either victim were specifically targeted for any reason, but both appear to have been selected at random.
"A number of active leads are being followed up urgently including reviewing CCTV footage and forensic analysis. We are also working closely with our colleagues in Hertfordshire to establish what links the suspect may have in that area."
