Watch: Dash cam captures man stopping traffic to save kitten

A brave man stopped traffic in a busy street of Hong Kong to rescue a teeny kitten in the road. This man is a hero!

Hong Kong firefighter Kwok Kin Wai was riding his motorcycle toward Kowloon on the Lion Rock Tunnel Road in early morning traffic, when he saw a little kitty lying still on the highway as cars sped by over it. ‍

He quickly jumped into action. He parked his bike on the side of the road and ran across the street to where the kitten was crying in the street.
