A woman and her son were driving around 11:30 a.m. when a vehicle cut them off and abruptly stopped
in front of them. A man exited the vehicle, pulled the woman from her car and held a knife to her
throat. When the woman's son got out of the car to confront his mother's attacker, he was reportedly
punched in the face. A passerby witnessed the attack and stopped to intervene with his .40-cal.
handgun. When the suspect saw the firearm, he quickly returned to his vehicle and drove off. The
good Samaritan who had stopped to help was able to get the suspect's license plate number, which
later resulted in the attacker's arrest. He was charged with assault and battery of a high and
aggravated nature and assault and third degree battery. (WISTV.com, Richland County, SC, 6/5/13)

Thank goodness for an armed Good Samaritan.

He's a true hero. Harry would have looked the other way - gun or no gun.
