Quote of the Day

You may think you’re a stud because you go to the gym and, I don’t know, beat up people weaker than you. But sometimes you see a story like this about a cop who did Matrix-like acrobatics to stop a car driving by a seizing woman into a pack of marathon runners.

The Land Rover headed toward the Mariemont police officer and a pack of Flying Pig marathon runners Sunday morning.

He turned, jumped on the hood, swung his body toward the passenger side and hopped inside.

At the same time, a bystander reached through the driver’s side window and pulled the emergency brake. Lewis shifted the car, driven by a woman having a seizure, into park.

“It was instincts, just pure instincts,” said [Officer Keith] Lewis, who has been with the Mariemont department four years. “I didn’t have time to think about what was happening. My main thing was trying to stop the car before it went right through the crowd. It was just the adrenaline and trying to put in practice everything I’ve learned.”
