"He's beating him in a savage way," Yoxall said. "Just fist after fist."
Yoxall pulled over, took his legal firearm from the center console of his pickup and exited onto the highway.
"I yell out to the suspect to stop, I said 'get off him!'" Yoxall said. "His facial expression, the look in his eye (was) 'evil' if I had to put a word on it."
The suspect refused to stop, continuing to beat Andersson.
"I hear a voice... ask me if I needed help," Andersson recalled. "I said 'yes, I do.'
"Shut up!" the attacker shouted.
Yoxall says he moved to his left, assuring that Andersson was not in the line of fire.
The attacker resumed his brutal assault as Andersson bled from his head.
"The next thing I hear is two shots," Andersson said.
The first struck the man in the chest; the second, in the head.
The threat was over. The attacker, later identified as 37-year-old Leonard Penuelas-Escobar, was dead.
