The man approached the woman, hit her in the “vicinity of her head,” and proceeded to punch her multiple times. No one seemed to intervene until the teenager nearby rushed to the woman’s aid. “The only person to react was a young man who ran up and pulled the attacker off, giving the woman a chance to escape,” the statement revealed.

The teenager simply helped the woman and left before the police could even arrive. Since he had been attacked and left abruptly, the officers decided to look out for him. The local prosecutor's office spotted the man wearing a unique Hello Kitty T-shirt in the footage and circulated the picture in hopes of identifying the man. They shared that they wanted to ensure the man was not injured after the attack.

A 76-year-old woman, Rosemary Carelton, was being attacked and when the man noticed, he rushed to help without a second thought. "What if that was my grandmother? She was screaming for help. That's when I went over to help her,” he recalled. The attacker reportedly pushed the woman down on the ground and the veteran immediately knew what to do. The video captured the scenario and how the man held him down until the police arrived. "When I finally got my hands on him... I told some local people to call the police, and they got here and I kept him down," Taylor said. The community is grateful for such good Samaritans who come through when it’s needed the most.
