MIAMI, Fla. (CBS12) — A woman who was beaten, stabbed, and left partially blind during a downtown Miami attack is now sharing her story and demanding answers.

Caitlin Dydzuhn told WSVN her nightmare began on the morning of May 19 while walking her dog near her Marina Blue high-rise apartment at Northeast 8th Street and Biscayne Boulevard when she was suddenly attacked. According to police, a homeless man, later identified as 49-year-old Raydean Johnson, assaulted Dydzuhn, repeatedly beating, stabbing and slashing her during the encounter.

In an interview with WSVN, Dydzuhn recounted the attack:

The most terrifying feeling [is] to feel helpless and to be screaming on the ground and no one’s coming to help you, not my building security.

Although she has since been released from the hospital and is recovering, Dydzuhn suffered severe injuries to her face and now has partial blindness in one eye.

She credited a good Samaritan who intervened during the attack and fought off her assailant, potentially preventing even more serious injuries.

Authorities said Johnson was taken into custody following a three-hour standoff and later admitted to carrying out the attack. Johnson appeared before a judge the following day and is facing one count of attempted felony murder.

The violent assault sparked concerns about security measures at the condominium where Dydzuhn lives.

Trial attorney Judd Rosen said he believes security personnel should have been actively monitoring the areas surrounding the property and may have missed warning signs before the attack occurred.

“The cameras are blocked by bushes and shrubbery,” Rosen said.

Rosen argued that Johnson’s criminal history, which includes several assault and battery charges, should have raised concerns if proper security measures had been in place.

“The building has an obligation to protect and warn against known threats,” Rosen said.

As of Friday afternoon, the property’s management company had not responded to requests for comment regarding the attack or concerns about security coverage around the building.
