Description

As Muslims around the world celebrate Eid, we speak with one Muslim who many believe has even more reasons to celebrate. Zack Tahhan is a New Jerseyan, a Syrian-American and a New York hero, not necessarily in that order. He made a name for himself when he identified the suspect behind a recent subway train shooting in Brooklyn, proving that heroes don't always wear capes. And they may be fasting.
