Unfortunately, women being assaulted while jogging is not all that uncommon an occurrence. I didn't read the whole article as to whether she was a random target or not.
On a brighter note, a woman friend of mine handily took on a mugger one day outside the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania train station (a few years ago). A man approached her with steel pipe in hand and demanded money. He got far more than he bargained for. She took the pipe away from him and proceeded to beat him with it. A couple police officers came over and stood to watch. When her right arm got tired and she switched the pipe to her other hand, then, the police officers decided to stop it and arrested the mugger. The police thought it was a good "lesson" for the mugger to learn.
