LAKESIDE, CA - A father is calling his two young children his heroes after they helped save his life during an apparent road rage attack that left him with multiple stab wounds.
On Friday, October 17, just past 6:00 p.m., Chris Davison, 38, was driving north on Highway 67 with his eight-year-old son and six-year-old daughter on their way to a Halloween festival when a black pickup truck began tailgating them over several miles. Davison said that the pickup forced him off the road twice, 10News reported.
The suspect was identified as Noah Kane and was arrested the day after the attack. He has since pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help Davison with medical and other expenses.
"He was like revving the motor, and I was just like, well, what's going on," Davison recalled. During the second incident, both drivers got out of their vehicles. "Not one word, just a demonic stare in this man's eyes," Davison said.
Davison said that Kane immediately attacked him with a knife. "As I lifted my arm like this to block my head, he stabbed my arm multiple times. It left my side open, and he proceeded to stab me multiple times," Davison said. After Kane drove off, Davison was bleeding profusely when a friend who had been nearby on a motorcycle ran over to help.
That's when Davison's young children sprang into action. His son searched the vehicle for anything to help stop the bleeding, first finding a dinosaur sticker. When he realized it wasn't enough, he continued searching and found a phone charger cord, which he handed to Davison's friend.
Both children took off their sweaters to help stop the bleeding. Davison's terrified six-year-old daughter hung out of the car yelling for help. "She's in a princess dress, hanging out of the car, yelling for somebody to please stop. 'Help me, help me, my daddy, he's dying,'" Davison recalled.
His friend was eventually able to clean off Davison's bloodied phone and call 911. Help arrived nearly half an hour after the attack. "I remember my son screaming, 'Dad, stay awake,'" Davison said. Thankfully, all the stab wounds missed major organs. "I'm forever grateful that I'm here to hug and kiss them and tuck them in every night," Davison added.
When asked about his children's actions during the terrifying ordeal, he had only one word: "Heroic." He was asked, "Do you believe they saved your life that night?" Davison responded, "Yes, absolutely."
