NORFOLK, Va.Dec 15 2008
wavy.com – A carjacking victim is alive today because of the efforts of a local nurse and a security guard. It happened Monday, December 8th near the Tinee Giant off Virginian Drive and Thole Street in Norfolk.
Outside the Tinee Giant, strangers called to action and brought together by fate embrace.
“I would have done it for anybody,” said Lillian Harcum.
“Everything is done for a reason and the Lord sent us to help as much as we could,” said Ernest Holiman.
Holiman and Harcum believe they were sent to the Tinee Giant.
When Harcum arrived at the convenience store she had never been to before, she met a man at the door.
“He says lady I’ve been shot and robbed on the interstate and I turn around and look and blood was just flying everywhere,” explained Harcum.
Harcum, a nurse, alerted workers inside and began performing first aid.
“I knew it was bad,” said Harcum.
What she didn’t know was that Ernest Holiman was on his way to help.
“I seen someone on the passenger side of his car fighting him,” said Holiman.
Holiman, a security guard, couldn’t get the image out of his mind. He made a U-turn.
“I immediately put some gloves on and she said get something to tie around his arm,” said Holiman.
Holiman says he grabbed a t-shirt. He also managed to grab the suspect’s weapon, now in the front of the victim’s car.
“I told him I have the gun beside me,” said Holiman.
Holiman says the victim told him he managed to knock the gun out of his attacker’s hand.
“It was real ugly,” he continued.
The violence was tempered only by the beauty of two strangers helping a third.
“He raised his head up and looked at me and I’ll never forget it. He says lady, thank you,” said Harcum.
“Her field is saving lives and she done what she had to do. My job is to protect and serve and I tried to do what I had to do,” said Holiman.
Police say the victim should recover from his injuries.
They have not released any suspect information. If you have any information that can help police, call the Crime Line at 1-888-lock-u-up.
