Chef Breaks Open Sinking Car's Window With His Elbow to Save Trapped Motorist
Down in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the sous chef of a beloved restaurant, Philips Seafood, replaced his apron for a cape.

Down in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the sous chef of a beloved restaurant, Philips Seafood, replaced his apron for a cape as he cooked up a heroic rescue of a drowning motorist.

An unidentified man drove straight into the frigid and filthy mid-March harbor water after suffering what reports say was a mental health crisis. Seeing this, sous chef Tom Walsh jumped in to rescue him.

"I hope he's OK," said witness Cher Briscoe. "But the man that saved him-I hope he gets a reward and some money."

Once in the water, Walsh proved himself to be immensely strong, because he was able to break open the glass of the car with his elbow, an effort that saw him spend a short while in the hospital recovering.

According to the restaurant's spokesperson who identified Walsh to news media, Walsh is "humble, private, and does not want attention."
