GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Police in Grand Rapids say a 12-year-old girl stopped an attack on her mother by stabbing the woman's boyfriend.

The girl woke up early Friday to the alleged attack on her mother, grabbed a knife and stabbed the man in the arm.

Investigators tell The Grand Rapids Press the boyfriend is being treated at a hospital and is expected to be charged with domestic violence.

Police say the girl isn't in trouble because she was protecting her mother.
