Its easy to monday morning quarterback the situation and it possibly could've been handled different but do you think he knew how old she was when he ran up? He saw one person trying to stab much smaller with a knife. Clearly this individual wasn't rational because she continued her attack after police showed up. Sadly if she wasn't stopped she could be facing a murder charge and going to jail for a long time. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
