A Florida Chick-fil-A employee came to the rescue when a woman with a baby had her car keys stolen in the restaurant parking lot. He took down the thief, helping foil the attempted carjacking, and has since been recognized for his bravery with a community service citizens’ award.

On Sept. 14, Mykel Gordon was working a shift in the afternoon at a Chick-fil-A restaurant on Beal Parkway in Fort Walton Beach when he heard screaming in the parking lot. Running to investigate, he found a woman with a baby in her arms.
