CUOMO: Time for "The Good Stuff". Today's edition, 35-year-old Ryan Raso was just crossing the street when he saw a female police officer trying to subdue a much larger woman who was vandalizing cars. The police officer was clearly losing the fight. What was worst -- a small crowd of people had built up and nobody doing nothing.</s>BOLDUAN: Oh no.</s>CUOMO: But not Ryan Raso. He jumped in to save the officer just as the suspect was going for the cop's gun.</s>BERMAN: Wow.</s>RYAN RASO, HOMELESS HERO: Law enforcement officer saying "help me, help me" and there's nobody else around. An officer being beat up -- a human -- so I did what was right.</s>CUOMO: He did do what was right and what was rare because nobody was helping. Raso wrestled a woman down, held her until other cops could arrive. Later police looked into Raso's background and realized he was down on his luck.</s>SGT. ELI TURNER, SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT: He has been homeless. He has had a rough time of it in recent months. We wanted to reach out to him and let him know he has friends.</s>CUOMO: That's right. Ryan Raso is a homeless man. He was there all the time but he stepped up here. Cops then stepped up themselves and chipped in to buy him new headphones that were broken in the scuffle. Get did -- Raso's dad was a former New York City detective so his love for police is literally ingrained from birth.</s>BOLDUAN: Wow.</s>CUOMO: But he's a homeless man stepping up to help a police officer. And we're going to put information on the Web site if you want to help Ryan Raso. That's the good stuff.</s>BOLDUAN: That's some good, good stuff. We'll be right back after a break.
