“Police in Lawrence, Kansas, say they have a good Samaritan to thank for helping subdue a suspect who was attacking a woman in her home. Austin Netherton says he is just thankful he happened to pass by the woman’s home when he did. … At the time of the attack, Netherton was walking into his apartment building. ‘I was just punching in my door code and kind of heard what sounded like violent TV, obviously a struggle. When I looked over at the window, it was wide open, and he was on top of her. He was attacking her. I just went through the window and grabbed him,’ Netherton explained. Netherton said he held the attacker down while the woman called 911 and continued to subdue the suspect until police responded.” (08/04/25)
