Food Truck Owner Hospitalized After Confronting Thief In California

A person is taken away via ambulance after a Chicago Transit Authority train crashed into a piece of equipment that was on the rails near the Howard CTA station on the North Side, Thursday, Nov. 16,

A food truck owner in California found himself in a dangerous situation when he witnessed a thief assaulting and robbing an elderly woman. Bryan Tecun, the owner of Bryan’s Birrieria food truck in Long Beach, California, was driving home when he saw the incident unfold. Acting quickly, Tecun jumped out of his car to help the woman in distress.

Authorities reported that Tecun chased the suspect to a nearby park and managed to tackle him down. However, in the process, Tecun was stabbed twice - once in his rib cage and once between his neck and shoulder. Despite initially downplaying his injuries, Tecun began feeling unwell and dizzy, prompting him to seek medical attention.

I would hope somebody would step in.' His bravery and selfless actions in coming to the aid of the elderly woman serve as a reminder of the importance of looking out for one another in times of need.
