Chilling video shows man fleeing after raping teen outside train station

A chilling video shows the moment a rapist ran away from the scene after he attacked a teenage girl outside a train station. His distraught 18-year-old victim, who was later found by a group of women who helped her get home, told a court how the devastating ordeal has changed her.
