A construction worker who threw himself under a moving subway train in New York to save another man has said he acted "out of instinct".

Welsey Autrey, 50, has been hailed as a hero for his selfless act of courage.

He took action after Cameron Hollander suffered a fit while waiting on the platform.

"He kind of stumbled over his own feet and fell backwards," he said. "I could see a train coming, but the train was so close I'm like what do I do?"

He then jumped on to the tracks and rolled Mr Hollander with him into a rut between the rails as a southbound train came in.

The train thundered overhead clearing the pair by less than two inches.

He continued: "I'm talking, saying 'sir, you can't move. I've got two kids up here looking for their father to come back'.

"'I don't know you, you don't know me, but listen, don't panic. I'm here to save you'."

Both men were virtually unscathed and Mr Hollander's father paid tribute to Cameron's rescuer, saying: "Mr Autrey's instinctive and unselfish act saved our son's life."


It's nice to read a story these days, where humans are being nice to each other

Very Brave!
I don't think many people would have done that for a complete stranger?

"Good things happen when you do good," Autrey said. "What better way to start a new year than saving a life?"


Anyhow! Donald Trump has given him $10,000 dollars and other good things are happening for the 'Subway Superman'
Like a free scholarship for his daughters and a free DisneyLand trip.
