SHREVEPORT, La. — An 18-year-old son bravely intervened to stop a violent domestic assault on his mother at the Ashton Pine Apartments on September 9. Police say Timothy Young was strangling the woman and pinning her to the floor when her son heard her scream and rushed to help.
The son was injured during the struggle but managed to subdue Young until officers arrived. The mother suffered significant injuries, including severe bruising and a lost tooth.
Young was treated at a medical facility before being booked into the Shreveport City Jail. He faces charges of domestic abuse battery by strangulation and two counts of domestic abuse battery with child endangerment.
The Shreveport Police Department praised the son’s quick action and the officers’ prompt response, which ensured the safety of all involved.
