A TERRIFIED woman who was chased by two would-be rapists along two trains in a 10km escape says she feared for her life.

The woman, identified as Merlyn, claims two men ­approached her at Wolli Creek station at 11pm on Tuesday night, calling her “babe” and trying to grab her, before she escaped by jumping on to an outgoing train.

Thirty minutes and 9.4km later at Beverly Hills, the scared 29-year-old was forced to fend off one of the same ­attackers with her umbrella outside Beverly Hills station when the attack escalated.

She said the terrifying ­ordeal started at Wolli Creek as one of the two men followed her down the stairs to a ­platform.

After switching trains at Turrella and getting off near her home at Beverly Hills around 30 minutes later, she was terrified when she saw the same two men get off the train and again follow her.

Still visibly upset 12 hours after the alleged incident yesterday, Merlyn said she tried to fend off one of the men with her umbrella as he chased her down the middle of King ­Georges Rd in pouring rain while she screamed for help.

With no one stopping to help Merlyn said she feared she would be killed or raped until a woman named “Helen” whisked her to safety in her car.

“If not I don’t know what would have happened,” she said.

Merlyn, who migrated from the Philippines eight years ago and has a four-year-old son, said she believed the pair were going to abduct and sexually assault her.

She said the second man encouraged his friend by telling him to “go, go” after her.

With traffic speeding past her and no one stoping to help Merlyn said she feared she would be killed or raped until “Helen”, who was in a parked car, intervened.

“I am still shocked today I am alive,’ Merlyn said.

“He followed me, chasing me, grabbing me. I am on the middle of the road asking people to stop, ‘help, help’. Then a lady rescued me. If not I don’t know what would have happened,” she said.

“Two African guys saw me and called me ‘babe’. I ignored them. Then on the steps he run at me. I saw the train come and asked the guard please help me because he is chasing me,” she said.

She also thought she would be hit by a car as she desperately tried to escape her pursuers.

“He still touching me, we are fighting, the other one was saying ‘go, go’. My mobile is in my hand but I don’t know who to call,” she said.

“I think because I am in the road someone might help me but no one does. I could have died because I am wearing black, you can’t see me.”

Merlyn said both men were aged 18 to 22 and of African ­appearance. The man who chased Merlyn was skinny with curly hair and wore a black leather jacket while his accomplice was fat with a black hooded jumper.

Merlyn said she only caught the train to avoid driving to work in the bad weather.

“Why the security put me there if I am not safe? They just say if anything happened push the button. Someone must be on the station all the night to protect us,” she said.

Her stepson, Syed, drove around early Wednesday morning looking for the pair after his distraught stepmother arrived home in tears.

Police are investigating.
