What just happened? Apple’s Emergency SOS feature has been praised for saving a woman from an attempted sexual assault in Virginia Beach, Va. The anonymous victim has credited the tool with saving her life after a stranger attacked her.

CBS affiliate WTKR reports that the incident took place around 2 AM on Sunday morning at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
Because the woman had Emergency SOS enabled on her iPhone, she was able to dial 911 without unlocking the device. By long-pressing the power and volume down buttons, she was put through to the emergency services. A dispatcher heard her cries for help and sent police to the location.
