A man who saved a girl from a stabbing inside a Target store in Pennsylvania is being sued by the chain.

Allison Meadows, who was 16 at the time of the 2013 incident, was shopping at a Target store when assailant Leon Walls attacked her. Walls was eventually convicted of attempted murder, and surveillance footage from the Target store showed him attacking the girl.

The girl didn’t suffer more injuries because Michael Turner got involved. Turner, along with a few other men, confronted Walls and Turner chased him out of the store with a baseball bat.

“I thank him,” Meadows has said of Turner’s actions. “I thank him every time I see him.”

Meadows filed a lawsuit against Target, saying the store’s lack of security is the reason she was put in danger.

Target wasn’t happy with Turner’s actions, and it is suing him for “endangering” customers, CBS Pittsburgh reported.
