Kejonna Levy told Channel 2β²s Candace McCowan that she was sleeping in her Buckhead apartment at the Optimist along Piedmont Road Monday night but got up after a bang at her bedroom door.
βI open the door, this guy is standing right here. So, immediately Iβm like, βBoom,β punching him,β Levy said.
She said she punched the man about a dozen times. She was ready to hurt him further, but he took off when she grabbed a kitchen knife.
βHeβs like βthe police, the police.β Iβm like, βYouβre saying police, Iβm getting ready to call the police,ββ she said.
Atlanta police responded around 11:20 p.m. and searched for the man, but they didnβt find him.
Levy said she is shaken but thankful she didnβt get hurt.
βI was getting ready to kill him, he just ran off before I could get the knife. I spared him this time but there will not be a next time,β she said.
She feels the man may not have meant her harm and only been seeking help after some time to reflect on what happened.
βThis is why I donβt feel like he was here to harm me, and he may have needed help β when I said Iβm going to call the police, his reaction wasnβt like, βOh, let me run, because youβre going to call the police.β If anything, it was like, βYes, call the police,ββ she said.
She said her second patio door wasnβt completely locked and officers said that mightβve made it easier to kick it in. Officers helped her secure it.
