A driver rescued a child running barefoot on a highway where cars were speeding by, drawing attention.

On the 31st of last month, a black box video filmed near the Daejeon Tollgate highway around 6 p.m. on October 4 was released on the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-cheol TV'.

Mr. A, who reported the video, witnessed a child appearing to be about 6 to 7 years old running barefoot on the highway while on his way home from work. Startled, Mr. A immediately turned on his vehicle's hazard lights, followed the child, and called 112. After stopping his car, he ran onto the road to rescue the child.

Mr. A tried to take the child off the road, but the child resisted by sitting down. Holding the child tightly despite the child shouting and struggling, Mr. A stayed behind the child for about eight minutes until the police arrived, worried about any sudden actions the child might take.

After handing the child over to the police, Mr. A received a call from the local police station informing him that a missing person report had been filed and that the parents, who came after hearing the news, safely took the child home.

Mr. A tried to take the child out of the road, but the child sat down stubbornly and resisted. After barely holding the screaming and struggling child and getting off the road, Mr. A hugged the child tightly from behind for about 8 minutes until the police arrived, not knowing what sudden behavior the child might exhibit next.

Regarding the situation, Mr. A said, "I was so shocked that my hands and feet trembled," and added, "Although I don't know the detailed story, the child seemed to have a disability severe enough to make ordinary conversation difficult."

Netizens who watched the video praised Mr. A, saying, "Applause for the brave and warm-hearted action," "Not only did he save the child, but he also possibly saved other drivers who might have caused accidents," and "It is thanks to people like this that our society is maintained."
