Zurich hero sought

Zurich police are trying to track down a hero who saved a 10-year-old boy after a man pushed him towards a moving train while at the Hardbrücke station.

Police say they were called on Monday after a scuffle broke out between a group of children and a man. 

The argument continued on the platform and the man grabbed the boy and pushed him while a train was approaching. A bystander managed to catch the boy at the last moment.

The man who pushed the boy then fled – but later handed himself in to the police. But the man who stopped a tragedy left the scene without leaving any details. 

Zurich City police say they would like to meet him.
