Amidst the chaos of the past few months, we’ve also seen acts of bravery and kindness that deserve some recognition.

An alarming number of children have been tossed from burning buildings, or fallen from great heights, only to be caught by neighbours and friends below.

Captain Tom Moore, despite pushing a century in age, walked the length of his garden every day to raise millions for COVID-19 relief.

He has since turned 100, and was honoured for his efforts with a knighthood. He’s now Sir Tom Moore.

These heroes can now welcome Erica Urrea, a California police officer, into the fold.

Urrea was patrolling Sacramento on Wednesday when she spotted a man in a wheelchair stranded on the railroad tracks, right in the path of an oncoming train, reports Sky News.

She immediately exited her vehicle and ran towards the man as the crossing barrier started to come down, reaching him with only seconds to spare.

Her body camera captured the whole thing:

The 66-year-old man injured his leg and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Give that video a watch again and focus on the chair for an idea of what would have happened if Urrea hadn’t been there, or acted as swiftly as she did.

It’s chilling.

Someone get that woman a Bell’s.
