April 5, 2006 -- ACTOR James "P.J." Ransone became a real-life action hero Monday night when he saved a woman from a brutal rapist.
Ransone, currently on-screen in Spike Lee's "Inside Man," was in his Lower East Side apartment e-mailing a friend and studying for an audition when he heard muffled cries for help.
"There was something in her voice," he relates. So he grabbed a broomstick which he later dropped for a metal bar, called 911 and ran downstairs "in my pajama bottoms - no shoes, no socks and no shirt," Ransone says.
He got to the vestibule in the nick of time. "There was this Hispanic guy in a blue sweatshirt choking my neighbor and pulling his [sex organ] out," he told Page Six's Lisa Marsh. "I pictured my mom, my girlfriend and every girl I've ever loved and thought, 'Vengeance is mine.' "
The would-be rapist took off on Eldridge Street with Ransone - who at a slim 5-foot-9 is not exactly physically threatening - chasing after him.
"I looked north and south and saw him running," Ransone recalls. As he ran after the attacker, he passed a friend walking his dog and called for him to join in the chase. "I screamed, 'Follow me! This girl almost got raped!' "
Ransone caught up with the assailant as he entered a building on Allen Street. He broke a glass door to get at the perp and then cracked him on the back with the metal bar.
"I said, 'You rapist piece of [bleep]' and heard a crack when I hit his shoulder blade," Ransone says. "He mimed taking out a gun and said, 'Do you want to go to jail?' - and made a bee-line for the door.
"I cried, 'I'm not done with you yet' and kept swinging," Ransone says. Then the cops arrived and the attacker disappeared into the building. An arrest is expected soon.
"All of my friends would have done the same thing, but nobody else in my building came out," the actor says, adding, "I did what anybody would have done."
The police were so impressed with Ransone, they tried to recruit him: "They told me I could still go on auditions during the day and work nights."
Although he doesn't think he nailed the audition for which he was studying, Ransone - who has appeared on "The Wire," "Love Monkey" and "CSI" - is optimistic for the future. "I don't want any casting directors telling me I'm not tough enough," he says.
