THIS is the shocking moment a half-naked hero chased away a sex offender through the streets of a town after hearing an assault outside his house.

The victim had been enjoying a night out socialising with friends in Middleton, Greater Manchester, on July 28, 2024.

She was making her way home shortly after midnight when she passed the takeaway where Dewan Gazi, 44, worked.

CCTV footage showed Gazi watching his victim walk past before he ran out to his vehicle and followed her in his car.

He then suddenly confronted her grabbing her by the arm and touching her over her clothes.

The woman feared for her safety and began to shout for help.

She also punched Gazi, who continued his attack and began pulling at her shorts.

He then pushed his victim into nearby bushes with a low metal barrier, which she struck, causing her considerable pain.

Around this time, a man and woman in a nearby house heard the commotion and came out to find the man holding his victim on the pavement.

After intervening and questioning Gazi, who claimed to be providing help, he ran off and the woman was assisted by the couple.

The man then decided to chase Gazi down with footage showing him running full pelt wearing only one shoe after the sex offender as he made off.

The victim was taken to hospital with pain and bruising, as well as soreness to her fist where she had punched her attacker.

Following CCTV checks, Gazi's vehicle was identified as being in the area around the time and was later seized for investigation.

He was arrested and charged with his offences by officers within Rochdale CID.

Gazi, of Blackley, has since been jailed for six years for the brutal assault.

The man and woman who helped have since received a bravery award from Greater Manchester Police for their actions.

A judge commended their “neighbourhood spirit” in coming to the victim's aid.

Detective Constable Russ Clarke said: “Gazi's attack was halted by local residents coming to the victims aid and chasing him away from the scene.

“One resident even did this in a state of undress and I would like to personally thank both residents for their brave actions.

“They heard the victim's cries for help and came outside without any thought for their own safety.”
