LIRR Employee Helps Stop Rape at Station

2008_07_lirrlogo.jpgAn assistant conductor noticed a man attacking a woman yesterday at the Freeport LIRR station, according to Newsday. Passengers thought they heard a child crying and when assistant conductor Eugene Chino lookd at the end of the platform, he saw the assault, which "occurred on the trackbed between the two tracks alongside the cement housing for the platform staircase." The 3:42 p.m. train from Babylon to Penn Station was stopped and the suspect apprehended.

if only.

 

I needed to hear a story today about people helping their fellow man/woman.

Thanks for this!

 

Glad to see some people will help others in need

 

LIRR employees seem to care more about things (like attempted rapes) than their NYCT brethren.

 

Good for those who helped!

 

I can't believe this happened at 4 in the afternoon! Crazy. But always nice to hear about a good Samaritan.
