SOUTH SACRAMENTO, CA - A south Sacramento woman used a lamp to fight off an attempted sexual assault early Thursday morning, according to Sacramento police.

A suspect, George Everett, 23, was arrested for attempted sexual assault and burglary.

Sacramento detectives says Everett entered an apartment on the 2600 block of Meadwoview Road sometime before 5:42 a.m. and went into a bedroom where the victim and her 2-month-old child slept. Everett is alleged to have climbed on top of the woman in an attempted rape, say detectives. The woman fought back and grabbed a lamp to hit Everett. He ran out of the apartment.

Using apartment complex surveillance video, police obtained an image of Everett and were able to find him still within the perimeter of the complex soon after the attack.

The woman sustained minor injuries. Her baby was unhurt.
