‘I knew what to do’: Travel nurse uses military training to disarm knife-wielding attacker

A traveling nurse used military-style techniques to subdue a knife-wielding man in Burlington, Vermont. The incident occurred when the nurse, Leceadricke Young, saw a man grab a woman by the throat and slam her down. Young and a fire captain checked on the woman, prompting the man to pull a knife and chase the fire captain.

The nurse then intervened, using his training to grab the man's arm and flip him to the ground. He also managed to fling the knife out of the man's hand. The man, identified as 29-year-old Wayne Butchino, was subdued.

Further details of the incident are available from the source, including an account of the events from the traveling nurse himself.
