Hero Saves Woman who Fainted from Subway Train then disappears
He's the city's newest subway hero - but who is he?

A mysterious good Samaritan saved a young woman from being crushed by an L train in Union Square after she fainted and tumbled onto the tracks Monday, police said Tuesday.

The hero courageously jumped onto the tracks and made a nick-of-time rescue after Brooklyn photographer Jessica Oshita, 26, fell suddenly Monday night.

"I think this whole thing is a miracle," Oshita's mother, Sue Oshita, told the Daily News from her home in Hawaii. "He is a guardian angel."

Oshita's fall left her unconscious and lying face-down on the tracks, blood pouring from her head. The hero had little time to rescue her - perhaps less than a minute, one witness said - but he was cool under pressure.

1. probably an illegal.
If this was Arizona, they'd start a man hunt to throw him in jail.

4. Wouldn't that be a great story. Undocumented worker saves woman
then flees for fear of being deported by a government that doesn't give a shit about a person's character, only about their paperwork.

2. Yeah, a miracle. Sure.
Or maybe just some honest schlub risked his own life and jumped down and pulled this poor woman off the tracks. Without any angelic help at all. Just maybe.

7. A miracle would of been this clumsy girl not falling in the first place
Why is it when some plane goes down and kills hundreds that its a miracle when a single person lives? If thats a miracle, God is a dick.
