CALABASAS (CBSLA) — A 5-year-old boy was attacked by a mountain lion in a Calabasas neighborhood when his mother intervened to save him.

“The commotion caused by the attack and the boy’s screaming alerted the mom who was inside. She ran outside and immediately started striking and punching at the lion and managed to fend the lion off her son,” said Capt. Patrick Foy with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “This mom’s an absolute hero who saved her son’s life, there’s no question about it.”
