A witness tells Channel 4 Action News' Andrew Del Greco how he and others stopped a man who was stabbing a teenage girl inside the Target in East Liberty. More Silverdale Baptist Academy in Chattanooga, Tenn., posted a Facebook message that identified the teen as a student, Allison Meadows, and said she had surgery for wounds to her arm and back and to restore air to a collapsed lung. Doctors told her family that she should make a full recovery, according to the message. "After hearing the actual details of the attack, only God could have saved her life," the school's Facebook post said. "Our job now should be to pray for the Meadows family and Allison, show our love and support, and be there for them should they need us. Praise God that this little girl was being watched over and she we will be back home soon." Pittsburgh police said 41-year-old Leon Raymond Walls entered the store on Penn Avenue just after 5:30 p.m. Monday and headed toward the restroom. Shortly after, two men came in looking for him, and one of them followed him into the restroom, where he was chased out by the knife-wielding Walls, police said. (Slideshow: Photos from the scene) "I took a peek at the top of the steps, and the guy was chasing the dude around with a long, long knife. It was a long, long knife. He was chasing him around through the aisles," a witness told Channel 4 Action News reporter Andrew Del Greco. Police said Walls then ran toward the checkout and grabbed the 16-year-old girl, who was with her family. "I went back up the top of the steps, and he had this girl by the top of her hair. He just kept screaming, 'I'll stab her again.' He kept stabbing her. Me and like four or five other guys, they ran and tackled him," the witness told Del Greco. "He cut the one guy's lip almost off. The other guy's finger was, like, hanging off." (Raw Video: Witness describes using baseball bat to stop stabbing) The witness said he used a baseball bat to get the man down on the ground and away from people in the store until police arrived. "That little girl, he just kept stabbing her. I just couldn't stand there and watch that," he said. "It was crazy in there. That was horrible. That was something you don't want to see again, ever." Police arrested the man, who was taken to UPMC Mercy hospital to be treated for pepper spray exposure. They said he will be charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint, simple assault and resisting arrest. Meadows was taken to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in critical condition with cuts to her back and arm, police said. Two men -- one with a cut to his lip and another with cuts to his fingers -- were taken to UPMC Presbyterian. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening, police said. An officer was also treated for pepper spray exposure and another person was taken to UPMC Shadyside with chest pains, police said. Page 1 of 2 Next Page .

East Liberty: Mellon, yes, that one, hometown. At one point 3rd busiest Business District in Pennsylania. Destroyed, just like other blighted areas. Except this Center is in a Strategic Location: Let me guess: you cannot believe that a developer and a bank would be so delusional to think that building a $20 million boutique hotel in the middle of an economically challenged neighborhood is a good idea. Well, that's exactly what's happening, or at least the demolition part of it is. Like the destruction of the Civic Arena dome, another aborted Urban Renewal project, the cheap money is hard at work ripping shit down. As for building things up, person by person, on a human, neighborhood-building level, it ain't happening, at least as far as I can tell, and I've lived in the East Liberty - Shadyside area for most of my life. See you at the the Hotel Never Go. I'll meet you at the bar
