The extraordinary performance of a mother with a teenage daughter after witnessing a criminal act is drawing attention.
According to foreign media such as the US ABC on the 13th local time, Phillies Pena, who lives in Lake Jackson, Texas, caught a suspicious movement in front of his house on the 31st of last month.
A man was standing close to the window of Mr. Pena's house and looking through the window into the room of his 15-year-old daughter.
Then the man, who noticed that the landlord had returned, ran away, and Mr. Pena immediately reported it to the police.
Shortly after arriving at the scene, the police officers soon found a suspect hiding nearby, but he stopped trying to arrest the officers and began to run again.
At this time, Mr. Pena, who was standing in front of the house and watching the process, saw a man running toward her house and took action.
He jumped in front of a man rushing at full speed and fell to the floor.
The culprit is 19-year-old Jane Hawkins, who is known only to have a face to face with Mr. Pena's daughter, but not to be personally known. Lake Jackson police charged Hawkins for possessing controlled substances and refusing to comply with arrest.
Mr. Pena said, "The moment I saw the killer running away, I thought I had to stop it somehow. It was like instinct." .
"I can say it like a joke now, but if anything happened to my daughter, I would have been unable to stand it. Fortunately, my daughter was not in the room at the time," he added. "To me, children are like my life."
