A Hopkinsville man was charged with attempted rape and kidnapping on the Hopkinsville Rail Trail near West 9th Street Saturday morning.
Hopkinsville Police say they went to the area after getting a 911 call with a woman screaming “he is going to kill me”.
After locating the man and woman, she claimed he made threats to her to get her to remove her clothing and put his hands around her neck, and demanded sexual favors.
During the attack, he reportedly took her phone away from her while she was calling for help.
The man was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree rape, kidnapping, and intimidating a participant in a legal process.
