A Santa Rosa County woman is alive tonight because she fought off an intruder.
According to deputies, Chris Price broke into a woman's home on Javid Road in Milton Monday morning around 9:30. He was hiding in the shower. When the victim walked into the bathroom, Price jumped out and held a gun to her head.
The woman managed to get the gun away from Price, then pointed it at him and pulled the trigger. But the gun did not go off.
Deputies say Price then stabbed her in the hand with a hunting knife. The knife broke off in her hand.
Whn Price pushed her to the floor and tried to strangle her, the woman grabbed her cell phone to call 911. But Price grabbed the phone and broke it.
In a sheer act of desperation, the woman pulled the broken knife out of her hand and stabbed Price. She then managed to get away and ran to a neighbor's house, who called 911.
Deputies eventually found Price hiding in a storage shed behind a home on Dalisa Road. He had blood on his hands and face.
The victim was taken to Santa Rosa Hospital.
After his arrest, Price told deputies he planned to sexually assault the victim. He faces numerous charges including aggravated assault, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and armed burglary.

Ya know, I live in Midtown Mobile, not the safest place. And I for some reason always check my shower when I come home. Not sure why, maybe I saw a movie when I was younger that freaked me out because a woman was attacked by a man in the shower. I even always leave my shower curtain open. Now that this has happened. I will be more and more freaked out.
