Hero of the day: Man catches girl falling from 3-story window

52-year-old Steven St Bernard from Brooklyn suffered a torn tendon in his upper arm, when catching Keyla McCree, a 7-year old girl who fell from a window on the third floor.

Keyla, who has autism, had squeezed through the gap between a new air-conditioner and the window frame.

Mr St Bernard said she stood on top of the air-conditioner for a moment "dancing and smiling" before falling.

"There were all these kids yelling, 'the little girl, the little girl'," said Mr St Bernard, a city bus driver.

"I saw a little girl standing on the air conditioner. I said, 'Let me get over to her in time. And I made it just in time."

Her mother Shaleema McCree said Keyla was fine. "Not a scratch on her. The man caught her, thank God. It's a miracle."
