Heroic Hitchhiker Is the Next Viral Local News Star

"Smash! Smash! Suh-MASH!"

That gem of a quote from a hitchhiking good Samaritan looks poised to join "Hide your kids, hide your wife," and the erstwhile "Ain't nobody got time for that" in the lexicon of catchphrases culled from local newscasts gone viral.

The quote comes from Kai (no last name given) a hitchhiking surfer dude "straight out of Dogtown." Kai was passing through Fresno, Calif., when he saw a man attack a Pacific Gas & Electric worker with a car and assault a nearby woman. Our hero Kai then hit the man in the back of the head with a hatchet three times -- hence the triple-smash quote -- and ended the attack. The story has since been gaining steam on the social web over the past two days.

The awesome footage makes us wonder what would happen if Kai had a run-in with this sassy reporter.
