The resident can be seen in the footage standing in the center of a busy intersection as cars zoom by. The traffic light doesn't seem to be working.

An act of kindness by a citizen of Dubai, as shared on TikTok by Hasan Naqvi.

I did not do this for fame or money, Khan is heard stating in another video Naqvi shared. I carried out my humanitarian responsibility out of reverence for God. I am grateful to the Dubai Police for the honor and award.
