It's been 15 years since Wesley Autrey vaulted to international acclaim for saving the life of a film student who fell onto subway tracks while suffering a seizure Now the 66-year-old is cashing in (literally) all that good karma
He fell right onto the tracks -- and a train was approaching.
Hollopeter suffered some bumps and bruises, but that was about it. Autrey declined medical attention at the scene. Then, the Times reports, he got his girls home and went to visit Hollopeter in the hospital before starting his night shift. The Navy vet's inspirational and humble story got out -- widely -- and he was flooded with scholarship money for his girls as well as cash, among other gifts, and earned a moniker that has followed him since:"Hero of Harlem."
