It's always a good time to read about people doing the right thing!
A blind man fell onto the train tracks at a Toronto train station just before 3 p.m. on Thursday, and thanks to three heroic men, that man is unharmed. The first person to jump onto the tracks to help the man, Kyle Busquine, talked with CBC about the incident.
Busquine made an unplanned stop at Toronto's Broadview station due to a train issue when he heard a faint scream.
"Help, help, help me," the 24-year-old landscaper recalled hearing.
"It was very guttural and filled with fear," he noted.
Turns out, the cries were coming from a blind man who had fallen onto the tracks. Busquine immediately hopped onto the tracks to save him. Two other men followed him down to assist.
An onlooker, Julie Caniglia, took a picture of the heroes and posted it on Instagram.
"If they hadn't reacted so quickly, the outcome would have been horrific," Caniglia wrote.
As for the other men, Busquine didn't get their names, but is grateful for their help all the same. "I do want to thank them. They did a great job for coming down and helping out," he said.
In response to many questions surrounding his reason for helping the man, Busquine simply said, "It was the right thing to do, the human thing to do, to help someone else in need."
A real-life hero, indeed. We salute Busquine and the two unidentified heroes!
