Ep 6 – The Assault: Trapped, Bleeding, and Betrayed

💥 “One moment, I was minding my own business. The next, I was locked in my own room… bleeding, terrified, and fighting for my life.”


In this haunting episode of Three Times A Victim, Bruce recounts the brutal attack that changed everything.


🏚️ Living in a crime-ridden boarding house with no locks and no safety, Bruce had already endured robbery and harassment. But nothing could prepare him for what happened on October 1, 2004.


🚨 A total stranger—a white woman Bruce had never met—called out his name, forced her way into his room, locked the door behind her, and unleashed a violent, unprovoked assault. As Bruce lay bleeding, he still held to one instinct: never hurt a woman, even in self-defense.


🩸 The scene was drenched in blood. The attacker left her phone behind. Witnesses confirmed she had entered and left uninjured.

But the justice system would soon twist this moment of survival into a nightmare of blame.


🔍 Who was she? Why did she target Bruce? And would the police use the evidence to protect the true victim—or accuse him instead?


🎧 Listen now to the terrifying chapter that marked the beginning of Bruce’s most profound injustice.
