"Give the man a raise": Pizza Delivery guy trips suspect in viral video, wins over the internet

A regular pizza delivery guy turned into a celebrated hero overnight after tripping a suspect in a viral video. Video of the incident caught on a doorbell camera showed law enforcers chasing a "suspect" on Brookhaven Street. The chase that involved a stolen vehicle soon turned into a running pursuit as the suspect got out of the car after hitting a pole and started running on the streets.

Surprisingly, the man of the moment, Tyler Morrell, a Cocco's Pizzeria delivery man, intervened in the chase by sticking out his foot, which caused the suspect to trip and fall. Soon after the suspect hit the ground, officers with the Brookhaven Police Department made the arrest.

The whole incident was recorded on the doorbell camera of a house on Brookhaven Street, where Tyler was delivering a pie on Sunday. The video of the incident, shared on Twitter, has left the internet amused as users continue to shower applause and gratitude on the delivery guy. A user sharing their gratitude towards Tyler, tweeted:
