A man who stopped to help a teenage girl that police say had been kidnapped is now recovering from devastating injuries after being brutally attacked.

Thomas Ellis suffered a brain bleed, broken bones and other severe injuries after police say he tried to help a 17-year-old girl get home safely.

Despite months of rehab still ahead, Ellis says he does not regret stepping in.

“I just had a granddaughter that graduated high school, and I think, ‘Man, if something like that happened to her, I would pray that someone would do something,’” he said.

Police say the suspect later shot and killed himself. The teenage girl was not hurt.
