Crystal Tupou

Auckland teenager reunites with heroes who saved her

Crystal Tupou was left fighting for her life after her ex-partner stabbed her multiple times in broad daylight on Anzac Ave, in central Auckland on November 22, 2018.

Three strangers - Steve Smith, Daniel Coombe and Walker Hunt - saw the attack unfold and didn’t hesitate to run to help Crystal, undoubtedly saving her life by stopping her attacker from inflicting any more wounds and causing him to drop his weapon and flee.

One of them also administered immediate first aid.
