CHICAGO (WLS) -- There was no time to put on his shoes. So he ran out in socks.



An East Humboldt Park man is being called a hero after he helped save a 47-year-old woman from a sex assault.



DNAInfo says it happened Monday night in the 2600-block of West Chicago.



The attacker reportedly followed the woman off a bus, pushed her to the ground and tried to assault her.



A neighbor heard her screams, ran out in socks and chased the suspect down for police.



Ledarius Johnson, 18, faces one count of criminal sex abuse.
