Dear Editor,

My husband recently approached a group of belligerent male youths on 208th Street, just south of 48 Avenue. They were shouting profanities at passersby.

He told them to stop, and was jumped by eight males.

The reason I am writing is I would like to thank the man in the company pickup truck who came to his aid.

In the midst of this horrible act, I was elated to know that there still are caring people who go above and beyond, compromising their own safety to help someone in need.

I wish I had his name to thank him personally. Without him, this situation would have been far worse than it was. I hope he reads this.

Name withheld, Langley
