The attack takes place after the kids are coming home from Maycomb Halloween festival at night. and the children hear foot steps of someone approaching them. the kids think that it is Cecil Jacobs that it trying to scare them but they soon find out that it is Bob Ewell, as he attack the kids right after the pass the Radley's front yard. Since Scout is wearing a ham costume she cannot clearly see what is happening but hears jem yelling to her to run. This is when bob grabs on to scout and Begins to choke her. Suddenly Bob Ewell is jerked backwrads and Scout can hear him Coughing violently. This is when Scout looks up and sees that someone is carrying her brother Jem in his arms.

Bob Ewell dies by being stabbed in the stomach by his own knife that is he was orginally going to use to stab the kids.
