The Good Samaratan, Shannon, says her little sister alerted her that "something was not right" so she walked outside in a residential area in Mitcham when she noticed a man behaving strangely and holding a young girl with his hand over her mouth.

In the video, Shannon follows the man and demands that he "let her go" and asks "what are you doing with her?"

When she finally reached him, the man let go of the girl and ran away.

This happened in Mitcham area this morning ..

"I wish I could thank you all individually, I'm not a hero Im just glad I had the courage to follow through," she said.

"My little sister is the real hero here, she's 11 years old and was able to notice that something was not right and called me straight away. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to save that little girl."
