Five Metro-North employees were honored for their actions after seeing a 3-year-old boy near railroad tracks in Westchester County and bringing him to safety, the MTA announced
Meanwhile, the boy's mother and sister were seen sobbing on a street corner, and said the 3-year-old was missing. A Sleepy Hollow police officer mentioned a missing child report, and a pair of MTA signal maintainers heard a report on their radios that a found child was at the train station.
The mother and son were reunited at the train station. The boy's mother said her son has autism and is nonverbal, the MTA said. It was not immediately clear how the boy got onto the tracks. “These fine team members embodied the qualities we want our employees to exhibit while on duty, alert, responsive, knowledgeable and helpful,” Metro-North Railroad President and Interim LIRR President Catherine Rinaldi said. “With the bravery and calm comportment of superheroes, they averted a horrific outcome and saw to it that this little boy was not going to become a statistic. We salute their efforts and compassion, and heartily thank them for their dedication to the people we serve.
