It’s been a crazy week for knife-wielding celebrities, but unlike when Dustin Diamond got arrested for stabbing someone, Jamie Lynn Spears is being hailed as a hero.

When her friend (below) got into a fight at a sandwich shop, Britney Spears’ kid sister did not hesitate to reach for the nearest weapon to help protect her!

The incident went down at the Pita Pit in Hammond, La., Spears and her friend went out for a late night bite. Their outing quickly and inexplicably turned violent.

It’s unclear why, but someone came at Jamie’s bestie with a bottle.

She was stuck and knocked down, and while it’s not known how badly she was hurt, it was scary enough for the mother of one to drag her to safety.

They sought refuge behind the establishment’s sandwich counter.

There, Jamie Lynn Spears grabbed a long bread knife and began waving it at the assailants in order to break up the fight. Her quick-thinking tactic worked.

Police came to the scene, but her friend declined to pursue the incident from a legal standpoint, so no charges were filed and no arrests were made.

It’s been a great year for Jamie, even before this act of valor.

The youngest of the three Spears siblings married Jamie Watson in New Orleans in March and is coming into her own as an aspiring country singer.

She is also raising her beautiful daughter, Maddie, from a previous relationship. Check out Jamie and other teen moms who did not star on Teen Mom
