A former high school wrestler who made the moves of his life in a confrontation last month recently is being hailed as a hero, but he knows who really deserves praise.

In March, Gabriel Pitzulo intervened at an Indianapolis Subway when a clerk was being harassed.

“All glory to God, man,” Pitzulo said, according to WRTV-TV in Indianapolis.

“He’s always protected me and put me in situations He knows He can notice that I can handle. I don’t feel like a hero, but I’m glad I did,” he said.

It was March 22 when Pitzulo entered the Subway shop near where he works. He saw the clerk behind the counter being spit at and having objects thrown at her.

“I had walked in, and he was visibly assaulting, you know, throwing stuff. I believe I saw him spit at her,” Pitzulo said. “How I was raised, you don’t do that stuff. It was kind of go time from there.”

As the man went to leave, Pitzulo acted, all recorded on 📹Video.

“I was afraid that he was either leaving to get something to harm her,” Pitzulo said.
