Article: “Help Him Up!”: A Witness’s Account of Panic on a Subway Platform

“I see the guy,” he said later. “I pictured myself helping him, but I didn’t. I just kept looking back at him and looking at everybody else look at him.” Eventually he lost interest. “I got caught up on my phone.”

Then: “I heard all those ladies yell.”

Mr. Capuzzo saw the man on the tracks. “He was hunched over,” he said. “He’s kind of, like, wobbling.”

Mr. Capuzzo said he called out: “Press the button! Press the button!” and walked in a quick circle. Then he acted.

“I just jumped down,” he said. “I grabbed, like, his legs together and I stood up. This is a time-sensitive issue. I don’t know where the train is.”

[30]He shouted, “Help him up!” He felt the man rise from his arms, lifted to the platform, and then made his own escape.

“I jumped up, like, no problem,” he said. “I hurt my hand a little bit.” It all happened so quickly, it was a blur — Mr. Capuzzo is not even certain he was the only person who jumped down to help.

Several minutes later, the F train, in typical weekend fashion, finally arrived, its potential victim long gone. Mr. Capuzzo got out after a few stops. He texted his girlfriend, “Guy fell so I had to jump on the tracks now I have a cut on my hand.” He called his mother. Both were upset with him at first, “mad I jumped on the tracks in the first place,” he said, but more thankful he was O. K.

In the days since, Mr. Capuzzo has looked for the homeless man near the subway. No sightings yet. The man looked so incoherent, he might not even remember what happened. He most likely would not recognize the man who jumped down and helped him. The Police and Fire Departments had no record of calls regarding the incident.

Mr. Capuzzo said that before he jumped, he remembered an old public service announcement: “Twenty people are thinking someone else called about the gas leak.” He recalled thinking, “If nobody does anything, he’s going to die.”

[35]He did something. And someday, another person will save someone on the tracks, and that tale will be told, and that rescuer might look back and remember the one from 2017, and the part about the pants around the ankles. That guy who grabbed the legs and lifted him up like that? Couldn’t do it. Did what I did, but couldn’t do that.
