A man from California has been dubbed a 'hero' for intervening in a domestic spat and saving the life of a woman being attacked by her ex-boyfriend wielding a machete. The incident took place at a branch of Starbucks.
Blaine Hodge, 27, ended up getting seriously injured after he jumped in front of the violent man in an attempt to save the woman. The attack occurred at a branch of Starbucks when 31-year-old Robert Rivas allegedly entered the coffee shop and chased his former lover while wielding a machete. According to WTVM, Joe Harris, a friend who was with Hodge, said, "She panicked. She was saying, 'Help me.' Then, at one point, she said, 'This guy's going to kill me."
