Pennsylvania (AP News) – Making state news, a Pennsylvania man is being credited with saving a Uniontown Police officer’s life after he helped pull him from a burning car Sunday night.
The police vehicle started to catch fire after the vehicle had been in a crash in Uniontown, Fayette County, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh. That’s when an innocent bystander came to the cop’s rescue.
Daylan McLee said he didn’t hesitate to save a human life.
The 31-year-old black man has had several bad interactions with police officers, having filed a wrongful arrest lawsuit against Pennsylvania State Police after he spent a year in jail before being acquitted in a situation where video showed he had disarmed a gunman, not pointed a gun at officers.
McLee said Monday he wants more people to look at individuals and not judge all police based on one interaction.
The police officer was not seriously hurt.
