MEXICO CITY SUPERHERO WRESTLES FOR PEDESTRIANS

-> The traffic light turns red at the busiest pedestrian crossing in Mexico City, used by around 9,000 people every hour. Tonight, a driver stops his grey Peugeot exactly on the crossing where the masses are trying to pass. A masked man dressed in black, his black and white striped cape, flapping behind him goes to the car, flings his cape over his shoulder, and pushes the Peugeot backwards to make space. "My name is Peatónito, and I fight for the rights of pedestrians," he says. http://bit.ly/1MTyv6k
