YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A group of courageous good Samaritans are being hailed as heroes after stepping in to save a woman and two small children from what could have been a devastating situation outside a Jacksonville, Florida, Department of Motor Vehicles office.

The incident took place March 12 in the parking lot of the DMV on North Main Street.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, witnesses saw a man attempting to drive away in an SUV while a woman desperately tried to remove her two young children, just 2 years old and 6 months old, from the back seat.

Investigators say the man, later identified as 26-year-old Yanni Human, was driving off “against the woman’s will, dragging her and one of the children through the parking lot.”

What happened next was nothing short of remarkable.

“More than a dozen Jacksonville Good Samaritans stepped in during a dangerous situation, potentially saving a mother and two children from serious injury or worse,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Facebook post describing the incident.
