During Tuesday’s episode of Dax Shepard’s Moms Car podcast, Tucker explained how the incident began. He said his Los Angeles neighborhood was peaceful, with many families and children nearby. However, one day he heard something disturbing outside his house. When he looked outside, he saw an older man aggressively knocking on the neighbor’s door and walked away.
Tucker decides to follow the man and see what he does next. They noticed that no one had opened their doors, and that someone had already called 911. “We called the police. We gave the details. We made sure people were safe,” the Kingdom actor said. However, about 15 minutes later, the man returned and broke into another home on Tucker Street.
Tucker immediately ran home, carrying a bag and without shoes. Inside, he found a frightened mother holding her child, while the intruder was still in the house. “She didn’t really know who I was. I was just a guy breaking into her house,” he recalled. Tucker helped the mother and two of her three children escape before searching for the remaining child.
The young girl was hiding inside and appeared extremely distressed when Tucker found her. “I just grabbed her,” he said, recalling how he carried her out of the house. A photo of Tucker saving the girl later went viral and drew attention to his actions. Looking back, he said the experience was “terrible”, adding, “You’re just like, there’s a baby, I have to save this baby.”
Tucker’s quick reaction helped bring a mother and her children to safety during a terrifying moment.
