The man attacked Reichert and slit his throat, which required stitches and surgery.

In an interview, Reichert said of the incident, "I was able to save [the wife], and we got into a scuffle and fell over a coffee table in the living room, and he slit my throat with a butcher knife, ending up with forty-five stitches in my neck."

He was awarded with one of his two Medals of Valor for his bravery.
