Pregnant school teacher stabbed 11 times speaks out

Tanya Nguyen

A pregnant school teacher stabbed multiple times by three men said all she could think about was protecting her unborn victim during the attack.

“I screamed ‘I’m pregnant!’” Tanya Nguyen said about the attack in Los Angeles last month. “I was just so scared at that moment. I was still in my first trimester and that’s so fragile, it’s such a fragile time. I said ‘Oh my God oh my God.’”

Nguyen spoke exclusively to KTTV, Fox 11.

The three men attacked the Beverly Hills Catholic School teacher just as she arrived to her home. She says the men surrounded her car, asked for her cell phone and then began stabbing her before making off with her car. Police said they crashed the car a half block away, but escaped in a getaway car that had been in the area.

Under arrest are five people, including two women who police accused of waiting inside the getaway car.

Under arrest are Christian Reyes, 20; Andrew Bran, 19; and Jesus Morales, 18 and the two women- Christina Luna, 24, and Monica Gomez, 25. All five have pleaded not guilty, according to KTLA.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up for Nguyen and has raised more than $63,000 of its $100,000 goal as of Easter morning. The money will go toward paying for her medical bills.

In a tearful message posted on You Tube, Nguyen said “I’m completely overwhelmed and grateful for all your support and being there for me through this time.”

The Go Fund Me page appears to have been started by parents and those associated with the school Nguyen teaches at.
