Exit Stage Left: Actor Saves Man in New York City Subway

Chad Lindsey made the save at Penn Station in Manhattan on Monday.

The man hit his head when he fell. Lindsey leaped onto the tracks, tried to wake him and yelled for help. Then he hoisted the man onto the platform and vanished in the crowd.

Lindsey later told The New York Times that he could see the lights of the approaching train.

Lindsey appears in a show called "Kasper Hauser." The role requires him to repeatedly lift a character who cannot walk.
