Police were investigating a suspicious package near the 100 block of Wisconsin Avenue shortly before 7 a.m. Monday.
The Milwaukee police bomb squad was responding to the suspicious package before a bystander on a bike burst into the scene and tore the bag open.
The man reportedly told another bystander he was going to “defuse this situation.”
He told police he saw on the news that officers were investigating the suspicious package and he wanted to “go play superhero.” As he went towards the package he thought, “there’s no way there’s a bomb in there” and started dumping out the bag.
Hughes got to the bag, emptied it out and found there was no bomb in the bag. He was then tackled by police officers.
