The first time, I was in a forest. The attacker was not strong (below average physique, not particularly muscular) and he was drunk. He was a man whom I did not know. He approached me from behind as I was walking.

The second time, I was in my apartment which was a townhouse. The fight occurred on the carpeted stairs. My toddler son was sleeping in the room very close by behind a closed door on the second floor. It was in the age before cell phones. The landline phone was in the living room downstairs and I had no access to it and the attacker knew it. He also must have realized that I was trying to avoid waking up my son: I tried to keep the sounds of the fighting low and the verbal threats were also uttered not loudly. The attacker was very muscular and strong and he was not drunk. He was a health nut. He was a visitor whom I knew. He wouldn't take a no for an answer.
