Hero leaps onto tracks to save blind man stranded below

Toronto businesswoman Julia Caniglia, listed owner of the Rashers restaurant outlets, has told of a heroic rescue by an unidentified man at Broadview station Thursday. She recounts it on Facebook and reported it to City News. She recalls that as the train pulled into the station “I had the fright of my life. I heard a faint voice call out help, help me please. It wasn’t coming from anyone in the car and after hearing it again I stood up and looked out. (I saw) a man with a walking cane lying on the tracks. He is blind and had fallen and injured himself. Without hesitation the man you see in this picture in the animal shirt jumped onto the tracks to pull him out. Thankfully, two other men showed up to help as well and this story has a happy ending. Please pass this photo around, these men need to be recognized as good Samaritans. If they hadn’t reacted so quickly, the outcome would have been horrific.”
