Yes, that would be George Zimmerman, who emerged from hiding to rescue a family trapped in an overturned truck:
George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue someone who was trapped in an overturned truck, police said today.
Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told ABC News that Zimmerman "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" at the intersection of a Florida highway last week.
The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route 417, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where he shot Martin.
It's the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said that there were four occupants inside -- two parents and two children.
The responding deputy, Jim McAuliffe said that when he arrived, two men -- one of whom was Zimmerman -- had already gotten the family out of the overturned vehicle.
“George Zimmerman pulled me out,” firefighters were told by the unidentified driver, according to McAuliffe.
This took a lot more courage on Zimmerman's part than it appears. Thanks to CNN, every hater seeking 'justice for Trayvon' has all his personal data including his social and his home address. Death threats against Zimmerman, his wife,his parents and his attorneys have been numerous, his parents are still not able to return to their home and Zimmerman himself has been wearing a bullet-proof vest according to his lawyer. It would not have been out of the realm of possibility that members of the Zimmerman lynch mob were staking the house out just waiting for a chance to get a shot at him. He could just as easily have phoned it in for someone else to handle.
Instead, he saw someone in trouble and decided to help anyway.

There are reports that the overturned vehicle was on fire when Zimmerman got there. But the mainstream media doesn't want to make Zimmerman look like a hero, so they left that part out.
