On a frosty night in November, Dublin-based Deliveroo driver Caio Benicio was on his way to collect an order when he was shocked to spot a knife attack across the street. While others might have fled from the scene, the Brazilian rushed towards the danger, using his helmet as a weapon to stop the attacker.
Benicio quickly became a local hero and the father of two was showered with praise across Irish media, with celebrities to politicians rushing to congratulate him for his bravery. In years gone by, that might have been the end of the story, but for Benicio there was an unexpected twist.
