Heroic Rescue: Woman Foils Knife Attack on Virar Railway Station

A 27-year-old woman, Vishila Sharma, successfully thwarted a knife attack by her husband on the Virar railway station bridge near Mumbai. Bystanders intervened in time, leading to the arrest of the attacker, Shiva Bhim Sharma. The police are investigating the motive behind the assault.

A dramatic scene unfolded on the Virar railway station bridge near Mumbai, where a 27-year-old woman, Vishila Sharma, bravely thwarted a knife attack by her husband on Wednesday.

The timely intervention of bystanders played a crucial role in preventing a tragedy, leading to the arrest of the attacker, identified as Shiva Bhim Sharma.

According to an official, Vishila was on her way to work in the morning when her husband gagged her from behind and stabbed her in the neck. Showing remarkable courage, she grabbed the knife with her hands and screamed, causing Shiva to panic and injure her fingers as he pulled back the knife. Passersby quickly came to her aid, overpowered the assailant, and handed him over to the Government Railway Police. The suspect has been charged under section 109 (Attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police are currently investigating the motive behind the attack.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of public vigilance and timely intervention. In contrast, a chilling episode in June saw a 20-year-old woman lose her life after being stabbed to death by her boyfriend, while bystanders failed to intervene.
