A neighbor is credited with saving a Beaverton woman from a domestic violence attack.

Marc Leverett was allegedly assaulting his girlfriend inside their apartment on Southwest Valley Circle Wednesday morning when, police said, Todd Anderson stepped in.

Investigators said Anderson, who has a concealed weapons permit, grabbed his gun and kicked Leverett's door open.

Police said the man rescued Leverett's girlfriend and held him until officers arrived.

"Todd is a great guy. He's there to help and if he was able to save that woman, that's awesome," said neighbor Steven Depew.

The alleged victim in this case was taken to the hospital with several facial injuries.
