A brave mum was stabbed 20 times after leading an armed burglar away from her two daughters.
Marylou Villalobos Palos ran from her home in an effort to divert her attacker from her children.
The 42-year-old victim was filmed shouting: "He's trying to kill me, help."
She was repeatedly stabbed and slashed by the knifeman, who left her for dead.
The mum-of-two is reportedly in a stable condition after the horror attack.
Her daughter Evelyn, 15, discovered her mum in a pool of blood, after being stabbed in the face, neck and chest.
