An unnamed, off-duty Carlsbad Police officer who was in Belleville, Illinois this past weekend witnessed a man on a street corner stabbing a woman. He jumped out took action.
Assistant Police Chief Roger Barfield said the officer from Carlsbad, Calif., was driving by the scene. “He witnessed the suspect on top of the victim making a stabbing motion,” Barfield said. He got out of his car and ordered the suspect to stop and the suspect did. . . . The arriving Belleville officer found a woman laying face up in the street, bleeding from her right arm and abdomen area, according to a statement released by Capt. Donald R. Sax.
Turns out the woman had money that she wanted to use to buy food, the man of course, thought it would be better to spend it on beer. When she wouldn’t give it to him he took out a knife and began slashing her. Thanks to the Carlsbad police officer the woman is still alive.
