A man is being hailed as a hero in his native Australia this week, after saving the life of a toddler who collapsed in a local supermarket.

Here is a link to the article with video, from the Huffington Post:

This is a very interesting video. It was crazy how much diffusion of responsibility took place. Although that man stepped-up to the plate, there were many individuals who simply panicked and tried to distance themselves from the girl in need. It is a great thing to see people help though; I bet that guy felt really great for helping to.
