BAYTOWN, Texas (KTRK) – A Texas mom turned the tables on an attacker who appeared inside her mini-van. Police said the mother and her five and two-year-old children were in their minivan outside a CVS when a man with a knife popped up in the back of the van.

“Guy pulled a knife on her, had a knife on my son,” Charles Flugence, the victim’s husband, said. “She got the knife. She’s got a cut that goes across her chest. She grabbed the knife, and he bit her hand.”
