Goodness of America
High Help
An eyewitness named Michal Klein saw beautiful human charity in a surprising place — the New York City subway system. On August 26, an unnamed suicidal woman crawled across a section of beams in the Broadway and Lafayette subway station, approximately 20 feet above the ground. Before Klein could even react, she witnessed a young man follow the woman across the beams and sit alongside her to talk her through whatever was plaguing her.
“The only thing I overheard was the young girl saying nobody cares about her,” Klein, of Hoboken, New Jersey, told the New York Daily News.
According to Klein, who captured a photo of the scene, the young man put his arm around the woman and talked her through whatever drove her to climb the beam that day. She said that the young man stayed with the woman until emergency personnel arrived.
