Attention shoppers: There’s a hero in aisle 6.

A supermarket employee in Illinois is being hailed a hero after sprinting across the store’s parking lot to save a baby who was strapped into a runaway shopping cart.

Ben Mazur, a courtesy clerk at a Schnucks supermarket in Alton, was wrangling shopping carts on March 17 when he heard a car horn “repeatedly and frantically honking,” Schnucks recounted in a recent Facebook post. “As it turns out, the owner of the car was trying to get someone’s attention because there was a runaway cart rolling down the store’s parking lot,” according to the supermarket chain.

Mazur quickly noticed it wasn’t just a cart — there was also a baby strapped into the child seat.

“The mom was putting her other kids in the car and they were honking the horn to get her attention,” Mazur explained to Fox 2 of the baby’s mom.

"We are very proud of Ben for coming to the rescue!" a spokesperson for Schnucks tells Fox News.

Thinking quickly, Mazur bolted across the lot and stopped the cart before it slammed into a stop sign, the outlet reported.

“I stopped what I was doing and saved the baby,” Mazur told Fox 2.
