A hero man saved a baby from a potential tragic accident after an out-of-control stroller headed towards a busy four-lane highway.
The stroller with the baby inside was in danger of rolling backwards in front of traffic after the woman pushing it suddenly tripped and fell.
As she struggled to get to her feet, the stroller seemed certain to enter the highway, where vehicles were speeding by.
However, a hero rushed to the rescue by racing to grab the stroller and bring it safely to a halt moments before it was to run off the kerb and into the road.
The heart-stopping incident was captured on video and posted on Twitter on Monday (May 1) by USSGoodGirl, who said that the weather in California that day was very windy, which may have contributed to the woman’s fall.
