An Illinois grocery store worker recently received an award of honor and a surprise proclamation from the city mayor for his heroic action of saving a toddler in a runaway cart.
Ben Mazur, 24, who is on the autism spectrum, is an employee of Schnucks in Alton.
Mazur was on his usual routine of collecting carts outside the parking lot in early March this year when he noticed something unusual, reported FOX 2 News.
Mazur saw a cart rolling down a hill unguarded, with a toddler comfortably tucked inside.
The cart had accidentally slipped away unnoticed as the toddler’s mom was putting her other kids into her car, according to the report.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
