Federal Way police launched a manhunt of sorts last week for an unknown driver, who saved a 4-year-old boy from running into a busy intersection on March 26.

Police responded to the intersection of Ninth Avenue South and Dash Point Road at approximately 4 p.m., moments after a good samaritan stopped the boy from entering the roadway. Police said the child’s parents had called 911.

But the mystery man left the scene before police had the chance to speak with him.

Someone provided the police department with video footage from a fixed surveillance camera, which shows the boy darting towards the busy street. The good samaritan pulls up alongside the boy, jumps out of his vehicle and runs in front of the boy, preventing him from entering the busy roadway.

The Federal Way Police Department said they were trying to identify the man to personally thank him for his quick action and posted the video on their Facebook page on March 27. They noted they could not enhance the video to view the driver’s license plate.

In response, KOMO news went to the scene of the incident and noticed the man in the area and recognized him from the video. KOMO identified the man as Sean Deeds, who said he was leaving to take his son fishing, when he saw the boy running, KOMO reports.

Deeds said he just happened to be in the “right place at the right time.”

Deeds’s relatives have set up a Go Fund Me account to help Deeds and his son take a “dream fishing trip,” for those who’d like to thank a local hero.
