SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A pregnant woman is recovering in the hospital after being stabbed by a stranger.

“He stopped me and asked me if I was okay, that he had seen what had happened and that he wanted to know if I was okay because I looked upset,” said Dana Kimbro.

Kimbro was arguing with her husband and noticed someone was watching them.

Afterward, she said the man tried to console her when she walked away from her husband to collect her thoughts.

“Can I walk with you to make sure you get somewhere safe? I said, ‘No, it’s okay. I can get to where I am going safe all on my own,” said Kimbro.

She says she kept walking and the man kept following her.

“He ran straight at me. The first blow ended up right under my ribs on my left side. And then I realized he had a knife, so I grabbed it with both hands. He starts choking me as hard as he could. And then he was punching my head, so that maybe that way I would loosen up. I was scared for the baby because I realized I had a cut on my mouth, what do I have on my stomach? I don’t know, did he just punch me? I don’t know because I don’t feel it,” she said.

Two Good Samaritans rushed to her rescue, knocked the man to the ground and held him down until police arrived.

“I’d be dead if it wasn’t for them. I really would because several cars passed me by,” Kimbro said.
