This is the scene of a brave security officer stopping a group of criminals with machetes from attacking a youngster in broad daylight outside of a school.
Social media videos of the event depict how horrified parents and children were as they saw the assault.
One security guard, presumably from the school in Walsall, Staffordshire, ran to the adolescent victim’s help and knocked one attacker out of the way.
An assailant using a machete led his gang of attackers as they kicked, punched, and struck a child in school uniform who was on the ground in the footage, which was originally posted by The Sun.
More attackers approached and attempted to trample on the security man as he placed his life at danger to defend the kid while wearing a hi-vis jacket.
Students and bystanders yelled and sobbed as the tragedy happened.
As the attack, which happened in Walsall, Staffs, was happening, one girl said, “They’re pounding the sh** out of him.”
The security guard, who has not been identified, received a lot of online plaudits for his bravery.
One individual stated, “The man who raced into the danger head-on deserves to be honored for his act of courage.”
Another participant added: “He prevented the murder from occurring outside the school.”
“It’s very terrifying,” said the speaker, “particularly to happen outside a secondary school.”
When the hero intervened, the gang of thugs started to flee from the victim.
As the group began to run, a second man in a hi-vis jacket ran at them as well.
