Two Good Samaritans in Florida jumped out of their vehicles to help a sheriff’s deputy who was being attacked by a suspect during a traffic stop on May 18, a local sheriff says.
Deputy Anthony Zimmerer stopped a black Ford F-150 after the vehicle cut across several lanes and nearly struck his vehicle, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The vehicle’s driver, identified as Frank Padilla Velez, 41, began acting erratically when the deputy tried to speak with him, according to the deputy’s body camera footage.
