11-year-old hailed a hero for calling cops in middle of uncle’s alleged meat cleaver attack

An 11-year-old girl in New York who raced to call 911 after her uncle began stabbing her and her sisters is being hailed as a hero — and the likely reason she and her siblings are still alive.

On Sunday, police rushed to a home on 84th Street around 10:15 a.m. after the injured 11-year-old girl locked herself in her bedroom and called 911 to report that her uncle had gone on a stabbing rampage, according to the New York Post.
