Three men are being hailed as heroes after they stepped up to help a California police officer who came under attack while trying to arrest a suspect during the weekend.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the incident happened Sunday in Whittier around 3 p.m., when the 23-year-old officer was responding to a call of a homeless man creating a disturbance at a convenience store.
In the seconds that followed, the homeless man attempted to grab the deputy’s gun from the holster.
