A young man had a seizure on the subway platform. This man and a social worker woman tended to him and got him upright. The young man leaned against a post and fell onto the tracks. AFter trying to get him up, the hero realized the train was coming closer and closer. He saw that there was a gully between the tracks so he asked the social worker to shield his two little girls from the sight and he jumped down onto the man, forced him into the gully and held him down as the train passed over them. The train brushed the hero's hat but they were safe. They had to stay under the train for about 30 min. till the turned off the third rail power.

The yound man was barely harmed and the hero........was, well.......a hero in the truest sense of the word.
