WESTMINSTER, CA --- A peaceful Sunday evening took a terrifying turn when a father and his young daughter were attacked in the heart of Westminster.
The incident occurred just outside the Westminster Police Department, where a man bravely protected his three-year-old daughter from an unprovoked knife attack.

The father and daughter were enjoying a leisurely stroll when a woman, now identified as 43-year-old Victoria Vu, allegedly launched a violent assault.
Authorities report that Vu, believed to be unhoused and often seen in the area, threw a bottle at the pair before advancing with a knife, attempting to harm the child.
In a courageous act of parental instinct, the father intervened, sustaining multiple stab wounds to shield his daughter.

Amid the chaos, an unidentified good Samaritan played a crucial role in thwarting the attack.
This bystander stepped in to assist the father, allowing him the opportunity to escape and call for emergency help.
The police are actively seeking this hero, reviewing security footage to identify and thank him for his bravery.

However, the story is accurate, and it was covered by other sites including NBC News & CBS News.
