Foreign media such as CNN and ABC News in the United States released CCTV footage filmed in front of a car wash in California at around 3:30 PM local time on the 1st.


The released footage shows a woman dropping a stroller carrying a young child while moving luggage to a car. The stroller was pushed onto a nearby four-lane road by strong winds, and the woman chased after it but fell to the ground and struggled to get up.


Just before the stroller entered the road, a man ran quickly and grabbed the stroller. The man reassured the woman and handed the stroller back to her.

The man who saved the child was identified as Ronald Nessman, who had been homeless for eight years. He had just finished a job interview at a nearby restaurant and was sitting on a bench at the car wash when he heard a woman’s voice saying "Help," and ran to the stroller.


Nessman said, "I heard a scream nearby, and when I looked back, I saw the stroller going down the road. I didn’t have time to think." He added, "When I approached the guardian, there was blood on their knee, and they were crying in shock."


As Nessman’s rescue video spread through social media, his story also gained attention. Nessman, who had worked as a truck driver, began wandering after the sudden death of his beloved partner in 2018 and became homeless. Recently, he was trying to leave homelessness behind and was job hunting for a fresh start. It was reported that he succeeded in getting a job after his good deed became known.



Netizens praised him as a "hero." In response, Nessman said, "I’m just grateful to have been there at the right moment."
