A hero straphanger leaped onto the subway tracks last night to help a woman who’d suffered a seizure and fallen from the platform, authorities said.
The Good Samaritan was giving the passenger first aid on the tracks with the power to the deadly third rail still on when emergency medical technicians arrived at the Myrtle-Willoughby avenues station on the G line in Brooklyn shortly after the 6:18 p.m. fall, a Fire Department spokesman said.
“This guy was still on the tracks with her – he disappeared when we showed up,” the spokesman said.
The woman was removed from the station at 6:40 p.m. and taken to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens.
