27-Year-Old Minnesota Man Credited for Saving Kids, Driver in Runaway School Bus
Ebro Ahmed ran onto the bus, put it in neutral and pulled the parking brake as paramedics responded and another bus took 18 students home.
On Monday, St. Paul resident Ebro Ahmed saved 18 children when he boarded a moving school bus after the driver suffered a medical emergency in the Dayton neighborhood.
Surveillance video from Bricks Snacks and Tobacco captured the bus rolling with open doors while Ahmed observed the driver appearing to have a seizure, prompting his intervention.
Ahmed shifted the bus into neutral and pulled the parking brake, later crediting the television drama "Grey's Anatomy" for helping him stay calm during the emergency.
Saint Paul Public Schools officials confirmed the incident occurred on a Battle Creek Middle School route; students transferred to another bus without injuries and paramedics responded to the scene.
Ahmed told ABC News he felt a duty to protect the children, stating, "I really felt like it was my duty," emphasizing the importance of saving young lives.
