Hero teacher runs out nearly naked to SAVE a girl from being s-xually assaulted

A middle school teacher from Texas is being hailed as a hero after he grabbed his gun and saved a 15-year-old girl who was being attacked outside his home, dramatic video shows. 

DETAILS OF THE ATTACK

The assailant followed the teen into a gated apartment complex after she got off a Metro bus on Houston’s east side around 12:30 a.m. July 28, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

THE SAVING

That’s when good Samaritan David Garza heard the girl screaming for help outside his apartment and he ran out almost naked to help her.

‘I looked out the window and I saw a man beating up a woman on the ground … trying to take her clothes off,’ Garza told KHOU. 

Garza immediately grabbed his gun and ran outside to confront the attacker, security footage shows. He said the suspect had the girl by her hair.

‘I ran outside, and asked what’s going on. The girl screamed, ‘‘I’m 15, help me!’’ I pointed the gun at him and told him to get off her,’ Garza said.

Video obtained by the outlet shows Garza holding the handgun on his front porch — still shirtless — and screaming, ‘Get away from her! Hey! Come here!’ 

A neighbour told KHOU they believe Garza saved the girl from a potential tragedy. 

‘At first, I was scared, I thought she was going to get raped. I think if he didn’t come out, she would have gotten raped,’ the neighbour said.

Garza said it’s not the first time he’s had to chase down someone attacking a child — something he said he wouldn’t hesitate to do again even though he ‘was scared, too.’

Police are seeking any information about the suspect, who was wearing a black hoodie with a white Reebok logo, blue jeans and white tennis shoes at the time of the attack.
