More than a dozen Good Samaritans are being called heroes after rescuing two children, ages 2 and 6 months, and their mother, from a vehicle fleeing a Jacksonville, Florida, parking lot. Video footage released by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) shows bystanders rushing forward and safely pulling the woman and a child, who were being dragged by the vehicle, and the other child from the SUV. Witnesses provided a detailed vehicle description that led to the driver’s arrest at a shopping center. “The situation could have ended in tragedy,” a JSO social media post stated. “Your JSO is grateful for the quick action and bravery of the Good Samaritans who stepped up.” The driver, Yanni Human, 26, faces multiple felony charges including child abuse and false imprisonment.
