Investigators say a 39-year-old man was heading to visit the 21-year-old in her apartment on DeKalb Avenue around 7:45 a.m.
The man was being followed by the suspect, who entered the apartment building after the 39-year-old man had opened the door.
When the suspect tried to enter the woman's apartment, the man fought back, defending the 21-year-old.

The 39-year-old refused medical attention, but is expected to be OK.
Police say there is no known relationship between the suspect and victims.
