A student of the University of Ghana escaped being lynched by irate students after he was caught allegedly trying to rape a female student while she was asleep at the Alexander Adum Kwapong hall where both students stay.
The male student who is popularly known as the church boy, was said to have been caught after the girl screamed out for help in her room.
Some residents of the hall say they heard distress calls and rushed towards the source to offer help.
Having been able to foil the alleged attempt to rape the lady, a teeming crowd had gathered outside the room waiting to take up their pound of flesh with the culprit.
But for the timely intervention of hall authorities, the gentleman would have been mobbed by the highly incensed crowd.
