NEW YORK -- A woman was slashed by a stranger while standing on a subway platform in the heart of Manhattan and fortunately a good Samaritan jumped into action to help.
The 54-year-old Brooklyn woman was slashed while on a platform inside the 14th Street-Union Square station just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Sean Conaboy said he was waiting for the train when he saw the knife and saw the woman being attacked. Instead of running the other way, he instinctively pounced on the man and almost certainly saved the woman's life.
Not only did he stop the attack, but he also helped catch the knife-wielding man.
