When a man tried to hijack a car outside a Chick-fil-A in Florida on Wednesday, a restaurant employee tackled and stopped the suspect before police arrived and arrested him.
William Branch, 43, was attempting to steal a car from a woman with a baby in Fort Walton Beach, WFTS-TV reported.
According to investigators, the woman was taking her baby out of the car when Branch came up to her with a stick and demanded she give him her keys. Branch eventually took the keys from the woman and got in the vehicle.
But when Mykel Gordon, who was working at the Chick-fil-A, heard screaming, he rushed to help.
After tackling Branch and getting punched in the face, Gordon successfully stopped Branch from stealing the car.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office shared video of the incident on Twitter.
“A major shout-out to this young man for his courage!” the sheriff’s office tweeted.
Branch was arrested and charged with battery and carjacking with a weapon.
