Actor Dev Patel isn’t just a man of action on the big screen.
On Monday night local time in Australia, Patel, known for his roles in movies like"Slumdog Millionaire" and"Lion," intervened on what his representatives call"a violent altercation" and successfully deescalated the situation. The incident occurred in the city of Adelaide around 8:45 p.m. on August 1, according to a press release from South Australia Police.
"Dev acted on his natural instinct to try and de-escalate the situation and break up the fight," the statement provided to CNN said."The group was thankfully successful in doing so and they remained on site to ensure that the police and eventually the ambulance arrived. There are no heroes in this situation and sadly this specific incident highlights a larger systemic issue of marginalized members of society not being treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
