Just then, a man in white heroically jogged onto the scene and jumped onto the latter in an attempt to take him down.

Even after falling on his arm, the uncle continued using his arms and legs to hold the other man down.

The OP’s husband and brother-in-law then jumped into action, taking the initiative to help subdue the man as he was “super aggressive”.

After the job was done, the uncle in white even helped to pick up and pass the police baton back to one of the officers.

The two also exchanged a few words and shared pats on the back as a gesture of thanks before the uncle went on his way.
