DEL REY OAKS - A local Safeway grocery store suspends a worker after he helped to save a woman's life.

Del Rey Oaks Police said Ryan Young stopped a man from beating his pregnant girlfriend, and possibly saved her life. His actions may cost him his job.

"We're expecting a child," Young said. "I've been suspended for just about a month now without pay for doing something I feel was right, that police said was right."

Young was doing his job as a meat clerk when he said he looked up and say he saw Quyen Van Tran beating his girlfriend.

"Every few seconds he would turn around and push her and then he actually kicked her," Young said. "I told him to calm down and he was just irate."
