Missing Child Rescued by Homeless Man

Summary by WALS
A homeless man named Arnett Johnson became an unexpected hero after rescuing a missing 6-year-old boy he found wandering alone in Miami at night.  The man noticed something was wrong, so he stayed with the child, and called police instead of walking away. The boy had been missing for more than 12 hours before he was reunited with his mother.  Arnett downplayed the praise he got by saying, “Anybody would have done the same thing I did.”
