Subway Hero
It was 12.45 pm on 2 January, 2007. Fifty year old Wesley Autrey was waiting for the train at a
subway station in New York. His two daughters aged four and six, were with him.
Suddenly, a sick man collapsed on the platform. The man, 20 year old Cameron Hollopeter, got up,
but then fell again – this time, onto the track between the two rails. A train was coming into the
station. It was a frightening moment.
But Mr. Autrey wasn’t frightened. He looked at the man, and he looked at the space that the man
was in. It was about half a metre deep. And he thought, ‘The train is going to travel over this man. If
he tries to get up, the train will kill him. But if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move, he’ll be
OK.’ So he knew he had to make a decision.
He jumped. Mr. Autrey lay on top of Mr. Hollopeter, and kept him down on the ground. The train
driver saw them. He was terrified, but he couldn’t stop in time. Five carriages travelled over the two
men before the train stopped.
The people on the platform were shocked. When Mr. Autrey heard them screaming, he shouted
‘We’re OK down here, but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father’s OK.
People on the platform clapped and cheered – they were amazed at Autrey’s courage. Subway
workers helped the two men out. An ambulance took Mr. Hollopeter to hospital. He had no serious
injuries.
In an interview on a TV show, Mr. Autrey said, ‘The only thing that happened to me was my blue
hat got dirty.’
He added, ‘I wasn’t brave. I didn´t do anything special. I just saw someone who needed help. I did
what I thought was right.’
