A homeless man has said he feels like a"little hero" after intervening to save a police officer who was being stabbed in the head in Washington DC.
The officer was taken to hospital after being attacked by another homeless man with scissors on Thursday."It's very, very kind - very heroic," chief of police Peter Newsham said in a news conference.Advertisement It is not known what the motive was for the attack but it is not thought to be linked to the anti-racism protests which have been taking place in the downtown area of the capital for the past few weeks.
Mr Burrows told NBC's News4 he had previously met the Second District officer and was just doing the right thing.
