near the airport was jailed Tuesday after a victim spotted his car
while a police officer drove her home from the hospital.
Her "tremendous alertness" made a difference, Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said.

The
Somali national admitted to assaulting three women, one Monday night,
another early Tuesday morning and a third on Sept. 26, police said.
