A 9-year-old boy who was stabbed inside a Target store in downtown Los Angeles last month has been released from the hospital, just in time for Christmas.
The Los Angeles Police Department organized a special procession Friday to honor Brayden Medina.
Brayden, who's been hospitalized since mid-November, was one of two people stabbed by a homeless man at the Target store at the FIGat7th shopping complex. Police said the suspect grabbed a butcher knife from a store shelf and stabbed the boy twice in the shoulder before a woman stepped in to shield him."It's fabulous to say that ... Christmas is Sundaytoday he is released," said LAPD Capt. Elaine Morales.
AIR7 HD was above the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey when dozens of officers, some with balloons in hand, escorted the Brayden out of the facility."He wanted us to be here in this moment," said Jaime Gutierrez with LAPD. "It's a huge moment for him. He was literally counting the days, so for him to see us, it was definitely overwhelming but something that was on his wish list."Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC.
