Mendez said she stopped her car, and what happened next is heartbreaking.

"I rolled my passenger window down and I said, 'Hey Hakeem, what's up? How are you doing?'" she explained. "And he popped his head into my window and he says, ‘I just want to give you a kiss, mama.'"

Mendez said as she leaned toward her son, Hakeem Shawky – whom she hadn't seen in about three months because of his drug addiction – he pulled out a box cutter.

"And then he proceeded to get into the car and started stabbing me and slashing at my throat, telling me that he was going to kill me," Mendez said through her tears. "He grabbed within the wound itself that he had created with his bare hands and he started pulling at my esophagus."

As Mendez fought for her life and screamed for help, she said a neighbor came to her rescue.

"He (neighbor) said, ‘Stop or I'm going to shoot,'" she recalled. "He (Shawky) wouldn't stop. He (neighbor) shot him once. It didn't even phase him, he (Shawky) was so high on drugs. And the second shot I heard, he (Shawky) went down and I was no longer being cut."

Good on that neighbor
