Irish Americans lead rescue of drunken man in New York subway drama

This story reminds me of an incident that occurred at that subway station involving Transit Patrolman Joe Keegan one morning in June, 1981. A lnog time resident of Inwood, Manhattan and a 6-ear veteran of the Marine Corps, Keegan had planned to retire and move to Las Vegas, but while ejecting a passenger who had entered without paying his fare, the farebeat grabbed Keegan's gun and and fired a shot that mortally wounded the transit cop.

Hail to these heroes! It shows how much goodness can be contagious. Well done, people Of NYC!

Thankyou for sharing this wonderful story of 3 courageous young men risking their own lives to save an unconscious, possibly drunk, man who was lying on the train tracks with a face covered in blood. This brave act brought out the goodness in others to help them all to get back on the platform before the next train came. It really warms my heart to read this and to reflect on how great it is to care and protect one another from harm.
