Deputy Walsh was on duty Sunday when he was almost hit by driver Corey Johnson, who blew through a stop sign without stopping. The minute the Florida deputy approached his vehicle, Johnson began violently attacking him.
Deputy Walsh was struggling to escape as Johnson hit him over the head and took his radio. He was even trying to grab Walsh's gun belt.
That's when Antonio Velazquez, George Cooper, and a third unnamed good Samaritan stepped in to save the deputy, much like the teen who protected a female police officer at a gas station.
"I wasn't going to let him beat that officer. Because hey, he is a man just like I am. He has children, he has a wife and he has a family. I want him to be able to go home to his family like I come home to my family," said Cooper, who even had a torn ACL at the time. (Make sure to also listen to the important words he says at the 1:51 mark!)
Velazquez had similar sentiments, telling Fox 13 News, "I just knew I had to help him because he was in trouble already."
The three men stayed by Deputy Walsh's side until more officers arrived and arrested Johnson, who had seven previous arrests.
