VIDEO: St. Paul Man Saves School Bus Full Of Kids, Credits ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Lessons

ST. PAUL, MN — A 27-year-old man jumped onto a moving school bus in St. Paul on Monday and brought it to a stop after the driver appeared to have a seizure. None of the 18 kids on board were hurt.

Ebro Ahmed told KSTP he was outside a convenience store in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood when the bus rolled past with its doors open.

Once inside, he said, he accidentally shifted into reverse before getting the bus into neutral and pulling the parking brake, then called police and paramedics.

Saint Paul Public Schools said the bus was on a Battle Creek Middle School route. Another bus took the students home, and the school's mental health team checked in with them. The driver has since been released from the hospital and is resting at home, the district said.

Despite having no medical training, Ahmed told Good Morning America he credits the TV drama "Grey's Anatomy" with helping him stay calm, saying the show teaches you what to do in situations you never pictured yourself in.

He said he saw stepping in as his duty, adding, "Even if I were to die, it would still be worth it."
