Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was attending the Wisconsin State Fair when he witnessed an old women crying out for help. She was trying to protect her 1 year old grandchild from an unidentified 20 year old man (father?).
The mayor, who was there on personal time with his family and without a security detail, came to her aid.
Police believe the 20 year old man had no idea he was delivering a beat down with a metal pipe to the Mayor of the city.

Glad to see Mr Barrett isn’t a coward, one can hope he’ll see the light now that he’s discovered how it feels to be helpless before a criminal.
