A good Samaritan helped save a woman who was preparing to jump to her death in a subway station.
The suicidal young woman had climbed across beams above a train platform in the Broadway-Lafayette subway station in Manhattan's East Village about 3.30pm Saturday.
A young man followed her about 3macross, according to Daily Mail.
Some subway riders crowded around to watch, some called the police and others simply walked by.
Witness Michal Klein, 38, from Hoboken, New Jersey, had just gotten off a downtown D train on her way to a restaurant when she saw the two sitting on the beams about 6m above the platform.
