This is the best thing you will read all day.
Police are looking to identify a man who last week exposed himself to a woman jogging in Cambridge, then escaped when the woman tried to detain him.
The woman told Massachusetts State Police she was jogging on Memorial Drive near Vassar Street about 7:30 a.m. on July 18 when the man exposed himself as she jogged by him.
Surveillance video obtained from the area showed the woman stop, turn around and pursue the man and attempt to physically detain him.
“I told him I’m going to get him. ‘I’m going to get you, darling,'” the woman, who gave her name as Aia, recalled Wednesday while speaking to the media. “It was not his lucky day. Because I decided to chase him down.”
Aia, who is 6’1″ and served in the Israeli military, said she held the man for a few minutes and yelled for help, but no one came to her aid.
“Where I come from and how I grew up, we don’t just walk by. We don’t just ignore it, because I have a daughter and it could be my daughter next to him and she’s not going to be that,” Aia said. “If you want to call it bravery for what I did, yeah, it’s for the ones after me.”
The man eventually got away and fled the area down Amesbury Street, police said.
“I think she put the fear of God in him,” a state police spokesman said.

And just when you didn’t think this story could get better…it does:
Aia said she had no regrets about chasing after the man.
“Hell no,” she said. “I was not ready to see his little [expletive]. I’m not doing that no. Just no. It’s not right.”
You have to love that Israeli directness.
What. A. Badass.
