A man showed courage as he tried to stop looters during the Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver, but was beaten up by the angry mob.
And now, a search is underway to identify the heroic male wearing a black t-shirt.
The Toronto Star called him “one good man in the middle of the madness,” as he tried to defend his city and stop the looting.
In the video, the man shouted out to the crowd, “this is my city,” with an expletive added in the middle.
But, the hooligans kept on the path of destruction, and then attacked him. He ended up being kicked on the ground.
