On September 14, in Walton Beach, United States, a man became a local hero after saving a woman who was carrying a baby in her arms from whom they wanted to steal her vehicle.
The woman and her baby were in the parking lot when Mykel Gordon lunged at the man who tried to steal his car.

It all happened when the assailant approached the woman while she was pulling her nephew out of the back seat of the car. The offender would have used a stick to frighten the woman and with this he managed to remove the keys from her waist.
After the struggle, several people came to help the man and to record the incident with their mobile phones.
Once the authorities arrived in the area, they proceeded to arrest the subject accused of robbery. For its part, the brave young man was applauded by all those present at his workplace, for quick reaction and being willing to serve the community when it needs it.
