Australia's 'Trolleyman' hailed for ramming street attacker

Here is a real hero, a homeless man had his "trolley" or shopping cart and wielded it against the knife-attacking terrorist in Melbourne, Australia last week. That attack has been claimed by ISIS and one person was killed in the attack before the police shot dead the terrorist.

A homeless man who rammed a shopping cart at a knife-wielding attacker who was threatening police is being hailed and rewarded for his actions, but he insists he isn't a hero.

Michael Rogers emerged from a crowd of onlookers during the attack Friday afternoon in downtown Melbourne, Australia, in which one person was fatally stabbed and two others wounded.

Social media users have dubbed Rogers "Trolleyman" and an online fundraiser for him by registered charity Melbourne Homeless Collective had raised more than 100,000 Australian dollars ($72,000) by Monday morning. Shopping carts are called "trolleys" in Australia.

Okay, one can see a lot here.



Homeless have saved children from burning homes, it's amazing the stories out there, where they actually do some good things.
