'Subway Superman' Honored for Bravery

He's been dubbed "the subway superman." Mild-mannered construction worker Wesley Autrey had been waiting for the trains with his two daughters. It was just like any other day until 19-year-old Cameron Hollepeter had a seizure. He tried to stabilize himself, but fell right onto the tracks. That's when Autrey sprang into action. He couldn't pull the young man up, so that left him with one other option: find safety under the train. With the train barreling down towards them, the two went right for the gutter. Hollopeter was still shaking, but Autrey pinned him down, keeping their hands and feet away from the rails. The train began to stop, but by then it was too late. "The train just grazed my blue hat," said Autrey. People screamed. One of his girls grabbed a cell phone, and called their mom to tell her that dad had been killed. But from underneath one of the cars, Autrey called out "I'm their father, let them know their father's okay. And let everyone know that the man is okay. There's nobody hurt." Hollepeter was taken to a hospital. Autrey refused treatment and then went to work. Today, he's a hero. Mayor Bloomberg invited him to city hall to be honored. He was awarded a bronze medallion. Donald Trump gave him $10,000. The New York Film Academy gave him $2,500 to start a scholarship for his children. Autrey even taped an appearance with David Letterman. But still, he remains humble. "What I have done here is what any American should do for each other," he said.
