Armed Neighbor Saves Children From Knife-Wielding Man

A Franklin resident heroically intervened when a knife-wielding man chased two children. The incident was captured on home surveillance, highlighting the importance of community safety and vigilance.


FRANKLIN, VA (6-minute read) — Home surveillance cameras captured a dramatic incident on Wednesday, showing a man chasing two children while armed with a knife.

Around 6 p.m., Terrel Majette was on his front porch chatting with his brother when he suddenly saw a young boy and girl running toward him. The girl, terrified, shouted that a man was chasing them with a knife. Majette saw the boy run home while the girl sought refuge on his porch.

“Instantly I ran in the house and I grabbed my firearm and came out and as soon as I stepped on my porch my brother was telling me from the car, ‘Hey bro, he’s charging, he’s charging,” Majette told reporters.

The doorbell camera footage showed Majette calmly confronting the man, instructing him to return to his house and stay off his property. “Going into protection mode, going into father mode, that was the first thing,” Majette said, emphasizing his priority was the children’s safety.

Meanwhile, Majette’s wife, Rachel, quickly brought the girl inside and called 911. “She was so shaken, crying uncontrollably,” Rachel recounted, noting the child was still upset when her grandmother arrived.

Further doorbell video revealed the man aggressively charging at the children next door and stabbing the ground in a disturbing manner.

The Franklin police incident report identified the man as a 29-year-old known to the authorities. He was taken to a nearby hospital following the confrontation.
