A Georgia man says he stopped an attack on a young woman near downtown Athens when he jumped from his truck brandishing a pistol.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports 61-year-old Dennis Terry was heading to the post office when he saw a man and woman struggling over a bag. He intervened when he saw the man punch the woman and knock her to the ground.
Terry says he grabbed his pistol and ran toward the attacker, who fled on foot. More than five hours later Thursday, police arrested 57-year-old Samuel Tyrone Evans on charges including battery and possession of a gun by a convicted felon. It was unknown Saturday if Evans had an attorney.
Police say the woman was treated for scrapes and bruises.
