Subway Hero

Subway heros are not to common in NYC. But here is someone who jumped (literally) into a needy situation.

Chad Lindsey recently entered this rare breed. Mr. Lindsey was waiting for the C train at the Penn Station stop when he saw a man walk too quickly toward the edge of the platform. The man fell, hit his head on the rail, and passed out. Lindsey quickly came to the rescue. He jumped down and tried to wake the man up, to no avail. He finally grabbed the man from behind and hoisted him up onto the platform. The train came some seconds later. Ironically, Mr. Lindsey is an actor in an Off Broadway show called “Kasper Hauser,” a role which requires Lindsey to constantly lift a character that is unable to walk. After the police arrived, Mr. Lindsey stepped onto another train and went on his way. All in a day’s work.
