A man who goes by “Black Biden” on social media helped police nab a suspected child predator in Long Beach, Calif. on Thursday.

“Black Biden” posed as a 15-year-old boy online to lure the suspect in for a “date” at a fast-food restaurant. 

“He seemed, at first, he was going to cooperate,” the good Samaritan told FOX 11 Los Angles. “And then, next thing you know, he just tried to book it.”

Police and “Black Biden” went after the man, who quickly ran out the establishment’s front door.

“I just tripped him,” “Black Biden” said. “So I tripped him, he falls, and the officers catch back up to him.”

“Black Biden” said the struggle with the suspect continued, and at one point he feared the suspect would try to grab the officer’s gun.

“You came to try to harm a child. I take that very serious,” “Black Biden” told FOX 11. “Not today. Not on Black Biden’s watch.”
