From being a San Francisco 49ers legend, Joe Montana turned into a real-life superhero to save her granddaughter from the arms of an intruder.

On Sunday, TMZ reported that Montana prevented a kidnapping from happening in their Malibu home on Saturday evening.

The couple immediately wrestled their granddaughter from the intruder. Meanwhile, the invader reportedly fled from the house before getting arrested a short distance away from the Malibu home.

"Mr. Montana, and his wife Jennifer, confronted the female, attempted to de-escalate the situation, and asked for the suspect to give back their grandchild," a statement revealed, per Fox News. "A tussle ensued and Mrs. Montana was able to safely pry the child out of the suspects arms."
