A Chick-fil-A worker served up a rescue by rushing in to intervene when a would-be carjacker targeted a woman with a baby Wednesday in Florida.
William Branch, 43, was taken down by a young employee when the woman was heard screaming outside the Fort Walton Beach restaurant.

Video footage shows the worker wrestling with Branch before putting him in a headlock. Other workers and bystanders can be seen rushing over to help. A woman then yells, “She had a baby in her hand! How dare you?” at Branch.
According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Branch demanded keys from the victim as she was getting her child out of her car. He was wielding a stick and proceeded to grab her keys from her waistband before opening the car door and climbing inside.
Upon hearing her cries, the employee quickly arrived to intervene. Branch punched him in the face, but he did not sustain serious injury, per authorities.
The employee reported that Branch had apparently been involved in another incident just before the carjacking attempt.
