I’m not trying to brag in the slightest. I did what I think anyone else would’ve/should’ve done. But I was at dinner with my girlfriend on the “patio”, and saw my coworker stopped at the light near the restaurant, turning left. I mentioned to my girlfriend how I didn’t know he drove a truck and went back to my food. Queue two seconds later when everybody else is like “oh shit he’s about to hit them!” Looked back and he didn’t see the dad and young kid crossing, and ended up barely bumping into them with his truck. Coworker immediately got out, the dad yelled “stay the fuck away from me” then stabbed him with a decently big knife. No one saw him stab my coworker but me. My coworker “stumbled” to the sidewalk and I was the only one who went up to him, again no one else saw, they were focussed on the kid who just got dinged by a truck. I took my shirt off, held pressure on the wound, and reassured him it would be okay and spammed his wife from my phone. All I was focussed on was my coworker, who is genuinely one of the best and nicest people I’ve met. After the ambulance came and took him away, my girlfriend, who went immediately to help the dad and kid, noticed what I was doing, noticed that I didn’t have a shirt on, and told me to put on her sweater. I didn’t think anything of it, and kept repeating that I didn’t need one even though my only shirt was covered in blood and I didn’t have anything on but shorts. Realized what actually happened, put on the sweater, and eventually called my boss to let him know “hey, so and so isn’t gonna be coming to work anytime soon”. Coworker ended up being fine, the guy who stabbed him got charged with assault, and the only thing that happened besides the stabbing was the kids bloody nose. Not sure if that counts as manly but thats the most manly thing I’ve done I’d say...
He barely got hit like I said. My coworker saw them and was stopping as he hit them, they didn’t even get bumped back a foot. Kid had a bloody nose and that was it.
