Ebro Ahmed stopped a runaway St. Paul school bus

Ebro Ahmed, 27, was outside a convenience store in St. Paul when a school bus passed with the door open. He looked in, saw the driver in what looked like a seizure, sprinted, jumped aboard, and pulled the emergency brake. Good Morning America reported the account on October 22, 2026. Ahmed said some of the children were screaming and some were calm, and that two girls in the front seats helped him. He told ABC News he felt it was his duty, because the passengers were kids.

Saint Paul Public Schools confirmed a medical emergency on the bus and said paramedics responded. No injuries were reported. The students moved to another bus and went home, and counselors checked in with them the next day. A district spokesperson said the driver was later released from the hospital and is resting at home. Store video from Ya Bricks Snacks and Tobacco shows the moment outside. The report is that stop. It does not name the driver or describe the medical care after the brake.
