This is the moment a motorbike taxi driver comes to the rescue of a young woman who is being choked by a male attacker before the victim jumps into his vehicle and they drive off together.

The incident took place in the city of Toluca in the state of Mexico in central Mexico and was recorded by the CCTV camera of a house at around 9 pm.

In the video, a young woman, who has not been named in reports, can be seen walking down a quiet road when a man on the other side of the street begins walking towards her.

He then faces up to the woman and marches towards her as she takes steps backwards. The burly attacker then grabs hold of the young woman as a motorbike taxi rider comes to a halt in front of them.

The attacker appears to grab the woman by the neck and drag her behind the vehicle but the taxi driver then steps off the motorbike.

The attacker then lets the woman go and she sprints into the carriage of the taxi as her aggressor walks off.

The taxi driver then slowly pulls away, looking behind him in the direction the attacker fled in.

It is unknown if the victim reported the aggression to the local authorities or if the suspect has been found. No motive for the attack has been provided and it is unclear if it was an attempted robbery or sexual assault.
