Lloyd Muldrow

Lloyd Muldrow rescued Marshall Cullens from assault, Baltimore, Maryland, July 4, 2022. Inside a dimly lit club after midnight, Cullens, 71, had finished a dance with a woman when a 65-year-old man, the woman’s former partner, approached and struck Cullens in the face with a handgun, causing a gash. As Cullens, bloodied, attempted to hold onto the assailant’s arm, other club patrons shouted that somebody had a gun, alarming Muldrow, 57, retired safety and training manager, who was outside near the club’s entrance. Muldrow entered and saw a wounded Cullens, his friend, whom he concluded had been shot in a scuffle with the assailant who was still holding the gun. Without withdrawing his own concealed and loaded handgun, Muldrow approached, struck the assailant in the face, and forced the assailant to the floor along with Cullens. As police shortly responded and witnesses informed them that the assailant was armed, officers found Muldrow and Cullens tangled with the assailant, restraining him on the ground. At the time of his arrest, the assailant no longer possessed the gun, which police were unable to find at the scene. The assailant later pleaded guilty to assault. Medics at the scene treated Cullens, who recovered without hospitalization. Muldrow was not injured.
