A Florida sheriff says one woman’s creative thinking saved her from her alleged attacker when she called 911 with a clever message.

“I’d like to order some pizza,” the 911 caller shared. Volusia Sheriff’s Office on social networks begins. “I’m so stuck here.”

“Fine. Are you aware that you are calling 911?” The dispatcher asks the woman who called, who replies, “Yes, I’m sure I’m calling this number.”

Dispatchers were able to “triangulate her phone,” Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said, explaining that the victim did not know her location.

The victim was able to tell the dispatcher that she was being held by an unarmed man. Once her location was determined, deputies were dispatched.

“Deputies came out on foot and started searching these ferns,” Chitwood said of rural town of Pearson. “Eventually they heard loud music coming from the field. As they approached the sound, they discovered a male on top of a screaming female.”

“He’s trying to rape me. Can you help me? the victim screamed when she realized someone was approaching.

“Thank you, Lord!” she said repeatedly, crying: after salvation. “Thank you, Jesus.”

“When you watch the video… if you are a father, if you are a grandfather, if you are a brother, and you hear the screams of our victim, the hair on the back of your neck stands on end. ” Chitwood said in the video posted.

The victim told officers she knew her attacker and she willingly went to Fern with him to have a couple of alcoholic drinks, but that was “all it was supposed to be,” Chitwood said.

“During that walk he took a line of cocaine and she said he did a 180 degree turn and he became extremely violent and wouldn’t let go of her and tried to rape her,” Chitwood said.
