A 12-year-old boy is being hailed a hero for saving his great-grandparents in a stabbing attack that could have resulted in two murders, according to a Texas sheriff.
Harris County Sheriff’s Office was alerted on Sunday night about two stabbing victims, aged 92 and 76,The initial report was that the seniors were driving with their great-grandsons Lucian Johnston, 20, and Sacha, 12, when an argument broke out and Johnston began stabbing his great-grandparents from the backseat.
“He managed to wrestle the knife away from Johnston and threw it out the window, which successfully stopped the attack.”, the great-grandparents were taking Johnston to a friend’s house, after they said he could no longer live with them due to concerns over recent violent behaviour. “I did grab the knife. I held that to his neck also. He bent back my finger, which is still sore. He head-butted me, which I have a loose tooth from that, but I do not really care.”“I’m still looking at the knife in my hand, so I take it and throw it outside, shut and lock the door,” Sacha said.Deputies told KSLA News that the seniors drove themselves to the hospital. Gonzalez said both victims are recovering well.
