Traffic police officer saves child from tragedy, video goes viral

A traffic police officer is hailed a hero after a video of him saving a child’s life went viral on social media platforms.

In the viral video on Twitter, we can see police officer Sunder Lal directing the traffic. A rickshaw makes a sharp turn which caused the child to fall from the three-wheeler.

The traffic cop showed quick thinking by stopping the oncoming bus. He crossed the road and picked the child before handing it over to a woman which seems to be the mother.
