A dramatic incident unfolded in Alabama when a man was apprehended following an alleged attempt to strangle his wife. The situation took a turn when the woman’s 13-year-old son intervened, rendering the man unconscious, according to local authorities.

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has identified the suspect as 32-year-old Daniel Hernandez-Lopez, who now faces charges of domestic violence by strangulation.

Law enforcement officers were dispatched to a residence in Foley, Alabama, at around 8 p.m. on Monday. Upon arrival, they discovered that Hernandez-Lopez had reportedly been involved in a heated altercation with his wife, which escalated to an attempted strangulation, as per a report from Fox 10.

A report from the scene indicated that the situation intensified when the woman’s son confronted Hernandez-Lopez. In response, Hernandez-Lopez allegedly attempted to assault the teenager using a bicycle.

According to the station, deputies said the woman’s son confronted Hernandez-Lopez, who lunged at the teen and tried to hit him with a bicycle.

The 13-year-old allegedly punched Hernandez-Lopez multiple times in the face, knocking him unconscious before deputies arrived, the sheriff’s office said.

The station reported that Hernandez-Lopez appeared to be intoxicated and possibly under the influence of narcotics.
