In the midst of Anderson Cooper covering a story for CNN a boy was hit in the head by a concrete block, the silver fox rushed to help the boy. Here’s what he wrote on his blog:
I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn’t get up. He’d try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he’d get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.
I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn’t walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don’t know what happened to him.
I hope he’s ok.
Watch it all happen, below! *Warning – It is very graphic!
We’re so glad Anderson jumped in and tried to help the boy to the best of his ability, he truly is a hero!
We hope the boy made it alright, so sad.
