20-year-old Shaliq Bing was in the middle of alleged crime spree. WBNS-TV reports Police were chasing him after stealing from a Dicks Sporting Goods store, he stole a car and then ditched it on the highway and then ran across I-71 to another parking lot where he came face to face with Chasity Worrick. He punched her in the face and stole her car keys.
Her her five-year-old son Adrian was shocked to see this man punch his mom and then watch him run off with the keys to their car. The parking lot security video shows Adrian give chase. Somehow Adrian was able to snag the keys from Shaliq's hand and then instinctively threw them as far as he could towards his mom.
With the police now in the parking lot Shaliq didn't have time to go get the keys so he took off on foot again and caught shortly thereafter.
Grove City Police Lieutenant Jason Stern later said he is inspired by Adrian’s bravery. You have this small child see a grown man basically knock his mother out and he say's to himself 'you don't get to do that to my mom'.
