An elderly California couple were attacked in their home with a knife and screwdriver by a crazed man. Sadly, the 70-year-old husband lost his life, but against all odds, his wife made the call that got her attacker arrested.
On Wednesday, November 5th, 36-year-old Manuel Alvarez snuck into the Murrieta, CA home of 70-year-old Bob Brink and his wife Cynthia Polsgrove.
Alvarez, who was armed with a knife and screwdriver, immediately attacked Bob with the knife. Unfortunately, Bob did not survive this encounter.
After taking Bob's life, Alvarez made his way further into the home, where he used the screwdriver to injure Cynthia in the head. After attacking both Bob and Cynthia, Manuel Alvarez fled the home.
Despite suffering such a brutal attack, Cynthia was able to get back up and call 911. Cynthia was rushed to the hospital, and despite suffering severe injuries, she survived the attack.
Thanks to Cynthia's amazing strength and courage, police were able to locate and arrest Manuel Alvarez within 40 minutes of the attack.
Manuel Alvarez is being charged with first-degree homicide, attempted homicide and resisting arrest.
You're a hero, Cynthia
