Police in the Polish town of Rybnik are calling this teenager a hero after he reacted when no one else did to a random act of violence and allowed the victim to escape.

Located in the Silesia region, the young man—found through his characteristic ‘Hello Kitty’ t-shirt—was standing at a bus stop along with a woman and another man.

Suddenly the 36-year-old man entered into a state of wild aggression.

“The woman, who was sitting on a bench, was first kicked in the vicinity of her head and then punched multiple times,” a statement from the police read.

“The only person to react was a young man who ran up and pulled the attacker off, giving the woman a chance to escape. In the course of his rescue action, the anonymous hero was himself attacked by the assailant.”

One wouldn’t guess that out of everyone on the street that day, it would be the individual in the ‘Hello Kitty’ shirt to save the day, but it goes to show the old adage about heroes wearing or not wearing capes.

When police officers arrived on the scene, the teenager was gone, and only this street camera photo of him was available.

According to TVP World, the local prosecutor’s office took the decision to publicize the image, albeit with a blurred face, to see if they could locate the young hero and confirm he was uninjured.
