Man Saves Autistic Girl After She Jumps from Window
Yesterday, a 7-year-old Brooklyn girl was saved after she fell from a third-floor window and was luckily caught by a neighbor.
Cops said little Keyla McCree pushed out one of the accordion pieces that was holding a brand new air conditioner in a bedroom window of her Coney Island apartment and squeezed through the tiny opening before plummeting three stories.
The young girl's mother, Shaleema McCree, stated, "She’s fine. Not a scratch on her. The man caught her, thank God. It’s a miracle.”
McCree said she had taken a younger son to the bathroom when her daughter Keyla, who is autistic and small for her age, pushed her way through the window.
Witnesses said Kayla did not fall right away, instead, she found herself perched on top of the unit, clueless to the danger she was in.
The girl’s savior, Steve St. Bernard, 52, is an MTA bus driver who also lives in the housing complex. He was made aware of the situation by the cries of onlookers. He explained, "I went over there to make sure if she fell I could catch her. I’m not a hero — anybody would have done it. I did it out of normal instincts."
One witness stated that her head hit a bush, but St. Bernard caught the rest of her body.
St. Bernard, suffered a torn tendon in his bicep, which he said is a small sacrifice for saving the young girl’s life.
