By selflessly leaping to the aid of a fellow New Yorker and performing a type of heroic act nearly unrecallable to the memories of veteran transit workers, Wesley Autrey has captured the spirit of our city.

Sander presented Autrey with a year of free subway rides (in the form of 12 unlimited monthly MetroCards), plus various items of MTA merchandise for Autrey's young daughters.[12] Also at the ceremony, Walt Disney World ambassador Lowell Doringo thanked Autrey and gave him and his family a week-long all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World, as well as tickets to see The Lion King on Broadway, and gave Mickey Mouse ears and Mickey and Minnie plush toys to his daughters.[13]

Three weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls, when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into a space between the rails, and held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists he's not a hero. Wesley says: "We got guys and girls overseas dying for us to have our freedoms. We got to show each other some love." There is something wonderful about a country that produces a brave and humble man like Wesley Autrey.

In 2012, shortly after the fifth anniversary of his subway heroics, Autrey was featured on a CBS News story in New York City, which reported he was "a sought-after speaker" who still worked in construction and was raising his 9- and 11-year-old daughters.[19] In July 2013 Autrey endorsed Mark D. Levine for City Council in his local New York City district.[20]

As the lore goes, Autrey was waiting for a train at 137th Street around lunchtime on Jan. 2, 2007, with his two young daughters when he spotted another subway rider, Cameron Hollopeter, having a seizure on the platform. He and two other bystanders raced to help the then-20-year-old film student. Hollopeter ended up stumbling off the platform.

Events tickets, backstage Beyonce passes, Nets (then in New Jersey) games, a new Jeep and a trip to Walt Disney World Resort followed. Autrey also earned a bronze medallion, New York City's highest award for exceptional citizenship and outstanding achievement, from former Mayor Michael Bloomberg two days after the heroic venture.

Republican presidential hopefuls have lined up to support Penny, a 24-year-old U.S. Marine veteran who was caught on video pinning an agitated fellow subway passenger in New York City to the floor in a chokehold. The passenger, 30-year-old Jordan Neely, later died from compression of the neck, according to the medical examiner.

I thought that minus the Bucky Bright subplot, this episode was classic. 


And though Jenna and Frank were barely on the show, they both each got a hilarious line--Frank's about watching people die in the subway and Jenna's about "love means wearing makeup to bed and hiding alcohol in perfume bottles."

Jordan Neely never should have been in that subway car. He had more than 40 prior arrests and an active arrest warrant for felony assault. His death is not the fault of the brave young man who acted in his own defense and in the defense of everyone else around him, but on politicians and district attorneys who would rather chase plaudits from activist groups than maintain the most basic semblance of law and order. It is on those who give speeches about compassion but leave addicts and the insane on the streets to be a menace to themselves and others.

This travesty is the result of the idiotic turning of individuals into symbols: Neely became a symbol, the Black Man Oppressed and Killed by White Supremacy, instead of what he was, a mentally ill man with a history of violent behavior. Penny was also reduced to a symbol, White Oppressor, Killer of Poor Blacks, instead of what he is, a man who attempted to stop a violent, mentally ill man from hurting innocent subway riders.

Subway is currently testing Hero Bread sandwich rolls for a limited time in Savannah, GA; Des Moines, IA; Colorado Springs, CO; and Boise, ID. Starting November 5, 2021, sandwich lovers outside of those cities can vote on where the Hero bread test expands to next at hero.co/vote.

Like most actors in New York, Lindsey, 33, lives a life of relative anonymity as he works a day job and auditions for theatre, film and television work. His anonymous afternoon feat at the Penn Station stop of the C train subway was reported in The New York Times' online City Room blog March 16 as a "who-was-that-hero?" tale.

The commuter that Lindsey plucked up, or "saved," if you wish (a glowing light in the subway tunnel indicated an oncoming train), was later identified as 60-year-old Theodore Larson, but no thanks were exchanged at the time. A bloody, crud-stained Lindsey had simply disappeared onto another train (to the applause of other passengers) and went on his way.

The website for The Flea, the Off-Off-Broadway theatre where he is appearing in the musical Kaspar Hauser, jumped on the bandwagon and has a link to the Times subway story with a headline, "'The Subway Hero' Chad Lindsey featured in Kaspar Hauser."

The 6-foot-1-inch Lindsey has to lift a body in the Flea show, which was good training for the feat of lifting a knocked-out commuter up to the waiting arms of others on the subway platform. The world-premiere musical by Elizabeth Swados and Erin Courtney closes March 28.

On national TV, Lindsey was a guest on cable's "The Rachel Maddow Show," on MSNBC, on March 18. Maddow called him a hero; he displayed his shrugging, Midwestern, Capra-esque dismay that the story has blossomed so much.

Although Lindsey has done some guest spots on TV series ("How I Met Your Mother") and was seen on national commercials (a Best Buy spot featuring the Black-Eyed Peas), he said that the subway story is the most high-profile exposure he thinks he's had.

Today is Daniel's birthday party, but he's got a big problem! The party is about to start but his Dad is stuck on a broken subway train with the birthday cake! Daniel calls on Team Umizoomi for help, and they jump into action. [1]

Much of Subway Hero Run takes place on the subway tracks and riding on tops of the trains, but there are plenty of upgrades to make to boost your performance. From changing characters to acquiring new vehicles, you can use your coins to improve your chances of winning.

South Ozone Park resident Pooran Mohabir maintains he was just in the right place at the right time when he saved the life of a Brooklyn grandfather who was shoved off the platform of an Upper East Side subway station by an allegedly emotionally disturbed man just after midnight on Sept. 12.

The 33-year-old electrical foreman was doing overnight construction at the 68th Street-Hunter College subway station with his crew from RMD Electric, a subcontractor for the MTA when he heard shouts emanating from the platform. He dropped what he was doing and raced down from the mezzanine level and discovered 74-year-old Trevor Crawford down on the subway tracks with his head just inches from the electrified third rail.

Derrick Mills, 39, of the Upper West Side, was taken into custody on Thursday, Sept. 14 and charged with assault. He had been seen talking to himself on the subway platform and became agitated when he saw Crawford glance at him and he allegedly shoved him to the track bed.

Mohabir remembers seeing Mills heading for the stairs. There were only a few people at the subway station at the time and he was the only one to rescue the fallen grandfather, whom he stayed with until police arrived.

Wesley Autrey jumped onto the tracks and rolled with 19-year-old Cameron Hollopeter into the trough between the rails at 137th Street station.Mr Hollopeter, who had suffered a medical problem, was rescued just as a train was coming into the station.Two cars passed over the men before stopping just inches above them.The train operator had seen someone on the tracks and put the emergency brakes on. The New York Times newspaper reported that Mr Hollopeter had suffered a seizure, which sent him convulsing off the platform and onto the tracks.Moments after the train came to a halt, Mr Hollopeter asked if he was dead, Mr Autrey said. "I said: 'You are very much alive, but if you move you'll kill the both of us.'" Mr Autrey, a 50-year-old father of three and a navy veteran, said of his actions during the incident on Tuesday that he was doing what anyone should do in the same situation."I'm still saying I'm not a hero... 'cause I believe all New Yorkers should get into that type of mode," he told US TV on Thursday. "You should do the right thing."GratitudeOn Wednesday, he visited Mr Hollopeter and his family in hospital. Mr Hollopeter's father, Larry, addressed reporters outside."Mr Autrey's instinctive and unselfish act saved our son's life," he said."There are no words to properly express our gratitude and feelings for his actions."Since his act of heroism, Mr Autrey has been interviewed by numerous media outlets and has been offered rewards by a number of people, including business tycoon Donald Trump.Mr Autrey said he had been offered cash, trips and scholarships for his two daughters, who were with him at the time of the rescue."Donald Trump's got a cheque waiting on me," he said. "They offered to mail it; I said no, I'd like to meet the Donald, so I can say: 'Yo, you're fired.'"
