A courageous father, who was viciously attacked by a man with an intense gaze in a suspected case of road rage, has commended his two young offspring for rescuing him. Chris Davison, aged 38, was en route to a Halloween event with his six-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son on October 17 when he alleged that a black pickup truck began tailgating him. The hostile driver purportedly twice forced Davison off California State Route 67 while aggressively revving his engine and tailing Davison for several miles.
Davison disclosed that both men got out of their vehicles when the truck driver revved his engine for the second time. The individual, characterized by a piercing stare, abruptly launched a knife assault on Davison, repeatedly stabbing him in front of his terrified children who were still in the vehicle.
“In an effort to shield my head, I raised my arm, and he proceeded to stab me multiple times here,” Davison recounted, according to KGTV. “This left my side vulnerable, and he continued to stab me multiple times.”
Subsequently, the assailant drove away, leaving Davison severely bleeding, as reported by the Mirror US.
“I pleaded with my son, ‘Please, find something, find tape. You have a dinosaur sticker that we got from the store,'” Davison narrated. “When he realized it wasn’t enough, he systematically searched the vehicle, front to back, and managed to find my phone charger cord.”
Reacting swiftly, his children used their sweaters to help staunch the bleeding. His daughter, clad in her Halloween attire, attempted to flag down passing motorists for assistance.
“Dressed as a princess, leaning out of the car, shouting for help,” Davison described.
A friend of Davison’s, who was riding a motorcycle, noticed the commotion and stopped to offer aid, cleaning a blood-soaked phone and dialing 999. Paramedics reportedly took 27 minutes to arrive on the scene following the incident. Despite sustaining serious wounds, Davison miraculously avoided any vital organ damage, allowing him to survive.
“I am eternally grateful that I am here to embrace and kiss them goodnight every evening,” Davison expressed his gratitude towards his children.
The suspect, identified as Noah Kane, was apprehended the following day by San Diego County authorities. He has reportedly entered a plea of not guilty to charges, including attempted murder.
By Thursday, a GoFundMe campaign for Davison had nearly reached its £3,800 ($5,000) objective, raising close to £3,000 ($4,000) to cover his medical expenses, lost income during recovery, and essential family needs.
