Boston Police were able to help a veteran, stopping him from harming himself with a hatchet on a bus on Veterans Day.
Authorities say Patrick Quinn boarded an MBTA bus with the weapon in Dorchester, later beginning to stab himself in the neck.
The bus driver told his four passengers to leave the bus through the side door, as he pulled over and flagged down Boston Police captain Haseeb Hosein, who boarded the bus and encountered the 52-year-old man with the weapon.
The captain tried to reason with him. "I'm trying to talk him into putting the hatchet down, and he's not going for it," said Hosein. "He's like, 'I just got kicked out of the shelter, I've got no reason to live.'"
Quinn said he had no place to go and was becoming more agitated. But then another officer boarded the bus. “Officer Godin engages him in conversation, asking him, 'Are you a veteran?' And he says, 'Yes,'" said Hosein. "And the simple words, 'Thank you for your service' was what it took for him to put the axe down."

Officer Nicholas Mitchell pulled over a speeding woman in Rockwood, MI.
The minute he stopped Rhonda McArthur for passing a red light, he noticed there was something physically wrong with her son Nick.
“He didn’t ask me for my driver’s license or registration first,” the mom told Detroit’s WXYZ “He looked right at my son and said, ‘Is he OK?’”
As it turns out, the 10-year-old was having a severe asthma attack and McArthur was rushing to get him to the hospital before it was too late.
When he was informed that there wasn’t an ambulance available at that moment, Officer Mitchell drove the child to the hospital himself.
“We were getting there as quick as we could because it sounded like he was having a lot of trouble,” the officer said. The boy was saved and McArthur was full of gratitude.
