Heroic bystander saves woman from brutal stabbing attack
In a harrowing incident during rush hour, a man intervened to save a woman from a violent attack at a busy intersection. The dramatic events unfolded when the woman, bleeding and desperate, stumbled out of a car driven by her husband, who had allegedly choked her earlier that day. As she attempted to seek help from nearby vehicles, her husband pursued her, brandishing a knife.

Witnessing the attack, the man, who was driving behind them, sprang into action. He sprinted towards the scene just as the assailant raised the knife to the woman's neck. In a moment of bravery, he tackled the attacker, preventing a potentially fatal outcome. The struggle continued as the assailant attempted to harm himself, but the man managed to subdue him with the help of bystanders until police arrived.

Authorities took the woman to the hospital and arrested her husband. In a follow-up, the woman later visited her rescuer's home to share her story, revealing the traumatic circumstances that led to her escape attempt. This incident highlights not only the dangers of domestic violence but also the courage of ordinary citizens who step in to protect others in perilous situations.
