WATCH: Charismatic Man a Hero After Catching Car Crash Suspect While Wearing Underwear

Watch this video of Australia’s newest overnight celebrity, Daniel McConnell, regaling the hosts of Sunrise with the story of how he was only wearing his underwear when he helped police apprehend a suspect who crashed a car into McConnell’s friend’s mother’s coffee shop.
