'Drunk Knight' helps passed-out motorist in Massachusetts

BOSTON, June 4 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts man who helped a man found apparently passed out drunk behind the wheel of a running car branded himself "The Drunk Knight."

The man, posting on Reddit under the name Krazy_Legs, said he was on his way home when he noticed a man apparently passed out drunk behind the wheel of a running car.

The poster said he turned off the ignition and left a note and a bottle of water for the motorist.

The note read:

"I found you passed out drunk with your car running, so I hid your keys under the Atlas in your back seat. I hope you get home safe. I'm not your hero. I'm your silent guardian.  A watchful protector. -- The Drunk Knight."

Krazy_Legs said the man was parked outside a bar under his apartment. He said the bar closed at midnight, but he found the man at 3 a.m.

"The bars close at midnight where I am, so I tried to wake him up, but he just kept mumbling and continued to sleep," he wrote. "I decided to hide his keys in the backseat, just in case a cop came, and left him a note and some water. I realized once I was sober that a cop would probably just read the note and arrest him anyway, but at least I tried."
