An absolutely BASED legally blind man is being praised as a hero after he stopped a stabbing on a public bus in Austin TX

The man, 27-year-old Aiden Hearn, witnessed a passenger being attacked with a knife on the bus and pulled the attacker off the victim, placing his body between them.

In the process, the attacker stabbed Aiden multiple times in the hands and legs with a kitchen knife... in fact, the arterial damage to Aiden's leg is so severe, he is having to re-learn how to walk again.

"Before I could even fully comprehend what I was seeing, I just moved," Hearn said. "My only thought was I didn't want him to kill the other gentleman or hurt him anymore."
