Rabat, March 22 -- A Moroccan boy named Samir became a hero on Wednesday, March 20, when a school bus driver abducted Samir along with 50 others on a bus in Milan.

The 47-year-old Senegalese-Italian school bus driver, Ousseynou Sy, hijacked the bus and set it ablaze in a protest over Italy's migration policy.

The driver was asking children to hand over their phones. After collecting everyone's phone, he stood in front of Samir shouting and screaming for his phone. The 12-year-old did not get scared but kept his phone in his pocket to call his parents later, reported Italian outlet Lastampa .

"Give it to me!" the driver shouted. "Today I didn't bring it," Samir replied.
