Police in Bradford West Gwillimbury are investigating the death of a man who came to the aid of a woman as she was being "violently attacked."
South Simcoe Police say officers found a man with a fatal wound on Holland Street West in the area of Deer Run Crescent in the early morning hours on Sunday.
Police say he died at the scene a short while later.
The victim is being hailed a hero for helping the woman in distress, while the man accused in his death later surrendered without incident.

According to police, the woman was taken to a local hospital, treated and released.
Days after the deadly incident, police have yet to identify the victim and the accused.
