New York City is filled with all kinds of people, luckily a hero before he knew it was walking down the street when he heard the commotion around an apartment building on Monday.

City bus driver Stephen St. Bernard was walking home after a day of work (mind you driving a bus all day can be extremely exhausting) stopped when he noticed a young 7 year old child standing on an air-conditioning unit. Of course no one knows how she got there, or where the parents were at the time.

After yelling at the girl to go back inside assuming she was on the edge of a suicide trip, she fell. Bernard acted heroically and caught the girl from a three story drop. Imagine how heavy a 7 year old is, and how hard it would be to catch one.

The girl suffers minor injuries and a torn tendon.

Neighbors say the child is a special needs child, so suicide is out of the picture thankfully, no charges were filed against the parents, though how she ended up on the air conditioning unit remains a good question…

A hero can be found in anyone. Good people do remain in this world!

Here’s another story about a hero who was just an average guy with a good heart.
