ABC News, CBS News and The Daily Beast report that Ebro Ahmed, 27, stopped a moving school bus in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Monday after its driver appeared to have a medical emergency. Ahmed told ABC News that he saw the bus pass outside a convenience store with its door open and the driver apparently having a seizure. He then ran to the bus, jumped aboard and pulled the emergency brake. Surveillance video released by the store, Ya Bricks Snacks and Tobacco, shows the scene. The outlets say the bus carried nearly 20 children. St. Paul Public Schools said paramedics responded and reported no injuries, and that the driver has since been released from the hospital.
