Former Deliveroo rider Caio Benicio will champion public safety and rights for gig economy workers
On the afternoon of 23 November, Caio Benicio, a Brazilian Deliveroo rider, was cruising through Dublin city centre when he saw a melee on Parnell Street.
At first he thought it was a drunken brawl; then he realised a man with a knife was stabbing a child. Benicio leaped off his motorbike, removed his helmet and used it to hit the attacker, who fell to the pavement, stunned.
