Vancouver police say a shopkeeper was attacked while leaving work in east Vancouver Saturday night.

V-P-D is praising three passersby who intervened and prevented the 23-year-old victim from being seriously injured.

Police say the victim was grabbed from behind by a man who was carrying a knife while leaving work in Mount Pleasant shortly before 9 p.m. and the suspect allegedly threatened to stab her.

Three Good Samaritans managed to step in and call 9-1-1 after hearing the woman calling for help and police say the suspect is in custody.
