Video captured by reporters attending a preliminary hearing in a stabbing case shows witness Antwon Lee attacking stabbing suspect Eric McCullough.

McCullough in July allegedly stabbed his niece, Tyecha McCullough, then stabbed Lee when he attempted to intervene.

Lee initially told police that Eric McCullough jumped out from a porch and attacked Tyecha McCullough with no warning as they walked by together.

Lee told police he didn’t realize Eric McCullough had a knife at first and that he tried to stop the attack, but Eric McCullough sliced his left side. He said Tyecha McCullough walked away and collapsed in some grass.

When police responded to the scene, they found Tyecha McCullough with a stab wound to the chest. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. Lee was treated and released for his wound, which was not life-threatening.
