Nessman later told a news outlet that as he was sitting on a bench nearby when he saw the stroller heading into traffic. Without thinking, he jumped into action, saving the baby's life and adding a happy ending to this story instead of a tragic one.
Not only did the Good Samaritan go viral when a video of the incident was posted on Twitter, but he also landed a job at a local restaurant chain where he had gone for the interview.
