Another video appears to offer some confirmation that the women is the man’s mother, while the Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts praised the women’s actions, saying he wished there were “more parents who took charge of their kids tonight”.

The footage is being shared widely online, both in support of the woman and as a quickly adopted Twitter meme.
