Subway Rescue Reunion

2004_02_subrun.jpg
Yay! The woman who was looking for the man who pulled her out of the subway tracks before a train came into the station was reunited with her rescuer. After the Daily News put Leah Bianco's story on the front page yesterday, Randy Brown contacted the DN to say he was the one who helped her: "When I saw the paper, I said, 'I can't believe it,' I recognized her right away, but I had no idea she was looking for me." They met at the Daily News' offices, and Bianco gave him a hug and a bottle of wine. Aw. That's great.
