Dramatic moment Good Samaritan tackles customer who 'battered and spat at Indiana Subway worker over a sandwich' - as hero is rewarded with free food for life

A Good Samaritan intervened and tackled a brazen attacker who had allegedly battered and spat at an employee at an Indiana Subway restaurant.

Gabriel Pitzulo, 23, managed to keep the alleged assailant pinned on the ground for eight minutes until law enforcement authorities were called to the Subway store in Indianapolis.

The incredible moment was captured on the store's surveillance camera, showing the brave former high school wrestler charging at the attacker and successfully taking him down.

The belligerent customer, later identified as Daniel Saunders, 31, was charged with one count of battery resulting in bodily injury, as reported by WFSB.

The Subway store manager decided to grant Pitzulo free sandwiches for life as a token of appreciation for his heroic action on March 22.

Pitzulo was walking into the sandwich shop on his lunch break last month when he heard someone in the store shouting loudly, he told Fox & Friends First.

He said: 'It was just another normal day at work, I was going to where I go all the time. As I walk in, it was pretty hectic. People yelling, it was kind of loud.'

The former high school wrestler and football player said he saw Saunders allegedly throwing something at a female employee behind the counter.

The brazen attacker then allegedly spat at the employee as a crowd of customers watched.

'I had heard it from outside. I walked in, and he was visibly assaulting, throwing stuff. I believe I saw him spit at her, and how I was raised, you don't do that stuff. It was kind of go time from there,' Pitzulo said.

Pitzulo, who now works as a welder, quickly tackled the alleged assailant and pinned him on the floor, as shown in surveillance footage.

The assailant, being of the race of professional victims, thought that he could attack the Subway employees with impunity because of his race. It is good that the Samaritan isn’t in NY. Washington D.C., or Chicago or he’d been charged with assault and battery on a minority and arrested for a hate crime.

I respect the young man for what he did, because the situation could easily have gone sideways. And, I’ll bet Sh_t-head was cited and released within hours of his arrest!

Once again, the Daily Mail manages to get the story and pictures that our newspapers can’t even report.

In the meantime... Daniel Penny is still awaiting trial for doing the same thing against a subway thuggee except the thuggee passed away during the struggle. Sorry Dan no free meals for you in prison.
