CALIFORNIA — NYPD Detective Dan Mulligan and his partner, Detective Albert Ramos, were off duty, but in Los Angeles on official police business when they stepped out from a nearby Starbucks and witnessed a man being stabbed.
“I heard a woman screaming up on the promenade, up on the concourse, and she ran past us with her two children and she ran back to what we saw was a fight in progress and she came back screaming again…,” Mulligan said. “Al went to the left, I went to the right. The victim came toward me.
Al yelled a police command, ‘Get on the ground. Drop the knife.’ Thank God he complied immediately, and it was over in a matter of seconds.”
“I don’t think we are heroes, I think we did our job, we definitely appreciate it – it feels good to get a pat on the back every once in a while,” Ramos said.
The suspect has been charged with attempted murder and his bail was set at $500,000.
