Gothamist: Details About The Daring Subway Track Rescue:

I had a split-second decision to make. Do I let the train run him over and hear my daughters screaming and see the blood? Or do I jump in?

...He landed between the track. Do I let the train run over this guy? I saw the ladies had my two daughters, so I hopped over on the tracks...

...I saw the two white lights and said "'Whoa, you ain't got no time.' I just grabbed him. I just dove on top of him and held him down because I knew there would be enough clearance for us...

...I was trying to pull him up, but his weight, he was fighting against me. He didn't know who I was. The only thing that popped into my mind was go into the gutter. So I dove in, I pinned him down, once the first car ran over us, then my thing was keep him still...

...He was fighting and pushing against me, so I laid on top of him. The train was probably 2 inches off my back...
