52-year-old Steve St. Bernard is a New York City bus driver who lives in Coney Island. He got home from work Monday afternoon and noticed one of his neighbors was in trouble.
An autistic child, seven-year-old Keyla McCree, had taken out the screen on her third-story window and climbed out onto the ledge. So Steve positioned himself under the window and tried to convince Keyla to go back inside. She didn’t, and she ended up FALLING.
Luckily, Steve was in position and managed to catch her right before Keyla hit the ground. Keyla wasn’t hurt at all, but Steve tore a tendon in his bicep. St. Bernard tells the NY Post that it was the “biggest catch of his life.”
Let’s hear the internet version of a round of applause for a real life hero.
Check out the cell phone footage of the fall:
