In a real-life Superman moment, a New York City man lifted another man off the subway train tracks barely a minute before the train was due to arrive.
The cell phone video capturing Saturdays daring rescue shows 29-year-old Jonathan Kulig walking across the tracks and carrying the fallen man out of harms way.
You see someone who needs help, you do it, Kulig told Fox 5 News on Tuesday morning.
Kulig, whom Con Edison has identified as an engineering supervisor for the electric company, said he had just exited a Manhattan-bound L train when he saw something fall onto the tracks on the opposite side of the Third Avenue station.

(269,004 posts)We discovered that he had rescued a woman on the Montreal subway tracks when he was at McGill years ago.
After he rescued her, he ran away from the publicity. He was that sort of guy - hated the limelight.
A friend gave us all the story in his tribute. Like this hero, his friend told us that he told them he did what was expected of fellow human beings.
His parents and siblings had never heard the story from him.

Was really sad losing him at 51 years old.
