A father from California is hailing his young children as heroes after they reportedly played a crucial role in saving his life during a violent road-rage incident earlier this month.

Chris Davison, 38, is on the mend from multiple stab wounds inflicted during an attack in Ramona, California, on October 17, as detailed in a GoFundMe campaign set up by his family.

His wife recounted the harrowing experience on the fundraising page.

“On October 17th, everything changed for us. My husband, Chris, was taking our two young children to a pumpkin patch when an unprovoked act of violence transformed an ordinary family outing into an absolute nightmare,” she wrote.

A GoFundMe campaign highlights how the children became heroes when their father was viciously attacked in a road rage incident.

Davison recounted to ABC 10News San Diego that he was on his way to a Halloween festival with his 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son. A black pickup truck had been tailgating them for several miles along a San Diego County interstate, revving its engine and forcing his car off the road twice.

When Davison pulled over to see what was happening, the other driver, later identified by authorities as Noah Kane, also stopped, got out, and attacked him with a knife, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) confirmed to FOX5/KUSI.

“Not one word, just a demonic stare in this man’s eyes,” Davison told 10News.

After being stabbed multiple times in front of his children, Davison collapsed on the side of the road. Despite their fear, both kids immediately rushed to help.

His 8-year-old son first tried to stop the bleeding with a dinosaur sticker before finding a phone charger cord to tie around one of his father’s wounds. Both children also used their sweaters to help stop the bleeding. His 6-year-old daughter hung out the car window, screaming for help in her princess dress.

“My son was screaming, ‘Stay awake, Dad. Stay awake,’” Davison recalled.

A close family friend who had been following on a motorcycle arrived moments later, cleaned blood from Davison’s phone, and called 911.

Authorities later arrested Noah Kane in connection with the assault, the CHP confirmed to FOX5/KUSI. Davison was hospitalized with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Authorities have not released a possible motive for the attack.

Davison’s wife said her husband’s survival was “nothing short of a miracle.”

“His injuries were severe, but somehow no major organs were hit. We truly believe God was with him that day,” she wrote. “He’s now home recovering, surrounded by the people who love him.”

While the family is grateful that Chris is alive, they face a long road ahead.

“Our children witnessed everything,” she continued. “We are now facing the long road of trauma therapy, medical follow-ups, and lost income while Chris heals.”
