Bonnet, aged 17, is being hailed as a hero all across Canada: he was on the front page of a Montreal newspaper, officers collected money for him, he is being nominated for an award from the department, and he will receive a national award for his bravery&#8230; But despite all the praise, he remains modest. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don&#8217;t think of myself as a hero, I&#8217;m just a normal guy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; he said. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I guess I saved a life, though, and that&#8217;s really awesome.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sharp Instincts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On August 1, Bonnet had just finished work and was waiting at the bus stop. He saw a couple fighting there, and then they asked him for bus fare. Bonnet had a bad feeling about the situation. After paying for their fare, he lied and said he was getting off at the same bus stop as them. He lives in Montreal, but he accompanied them to the town of Laval. He did not want to leave the woman alone with the man, so he came up with a plan. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My plan was to keep them in a public place where he wouldn&#8217;t hurt her. I decided to be friendly with the man and have him think I was his friend. I played my game and he seemed to trust me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; said Bonnet. He was right to be worried &#8211; the police had been searching for the woman all day. The 29-year old woman was reported missing by her parents. She had reportedly been kidnapped by an ex-boyfriend who was recently in jail for violence and had been found guilty of assault and death threats against her.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8359\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-517x300.jpg 517w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-600x348.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-85x49.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coxrare.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet.jpg?w=843&amp;h=489&amp;crop=1\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Clever Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once they stopped in Laval, Bonnet needed to keep them in public until he could call for help. He invited the couple to get something to eat with him. Then he told them he had to use the restroom so he could get away and call the police. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I borrowed a cell phone from someone because mine had died and told police that it was an emergency, that someone had been kidnapped and were at this restaurant,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; he said. Police officers were at the scene within the next few minutes. Bonnet says the woman made eye contact with him, and she had tears of happiness in her eyes. In the past, he has had less positive run-ins with the police. But now, Bonnet says he has a new-found appreciation and respect for police officers. The officers are all praising the boy for his smarts and bravery. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He&#8217;s a real hero, we all think<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; said Lt. Guerin. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His quick actions may have saved this young woman&#8217;s life. He now has 500 new friends in our department<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&#8221;\u00a0Officers collected more than $250 to reimburse Bonnet for his bus fare and for food that night.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8360\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8360\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536-574x300.jpg 574w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536-85x44.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativetribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/malyk-bonnet-1024x536.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/honorary-diploma\">SEE ALSO:\u00a0A High School Pays Tribute To Kidnapping Survivors With A Touching Gift.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian teenager\u00a0Malyk Bonnet took extraordinary measures to save a young woman\u2019s life.
