New York Hero Rescues Blind Man From Subway Tracks
Reginald Andrews leapt onto subway tracks at 14th Street and Eighth Avenue to save a blind man, pulling him free as a train moved. He later learned Jamac Foods offered him a job as a food processor after the rescue, training to begin once his knee heals. Andrews and his wife Elaine, with four sons and four daughters, faced a difficult holiday as he sought steady work. Transit police plan to recommend a civilian commendation for the rescue.
