“A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy’s shoulders to let him know that the world hadn’t ended.” Who can forget this quote from the movie The Dark Knight Rises? Well, a man in China just proved that real heroes exist by saving a child’s life even as he risked his own.

The officer ran past all the vehicles amid moving traffic to save the young one’s life in China’s Guizhou province on June 19. If the cop had not taken the step, the child would have died on the spot. In the video posted on Twitter by People’s Daily, China, the child can be seen running on the busy road without looking at the vehicles coming in front of him. “Traffic policeman in China’s Guizhou jumps into action to save child who suddenly jumps off a scooter and runs across the busy road,” the video has been captioned.
