According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, on Thursday the animal attacked the boy while he was in the family's front yard in Calabasas, leaving him with injuries to his head, neck, and chest.

"The true hero of this story is his mom because she absolutely saved her son’s life," said Capt. Patrick Foy, a spokesman for the department. He mentioned that the boy’s mother heard the noise from inside the house before running outside and “beating the mountain lion with her bare hands."

The parents then rushed the boy to hospital, where he is in a stable condition.
