Caught on camera: Heart-stopping moment neighbour saved life of seven-year-old girl as she plummeted from THIRD-STOREY window - (VIDEO & PHOTOS)


A seven-year-old Brooklyn girl is safe all thanks to a fast-acting neighbor who came to her rescue.
Keyla McCree crawled out of her window and was dancing and singing on top of an air conditioner before she tripped and fell from the ledge of the Coney Island Houses building.
MTA bus driver Steve St Bernard, 52, was waiting below with his arms outstretched and managed to catch the girl and save her life.

Video available when you continue and scroll down....



St Bernard, who just got off work, heard cries of concern and rushed to the scene.
'There were all these kids yelling,"the little girl, the little girl,"' said St Bernard.
'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."'
In the minute long video, St Bernard positions himself under the girl, trying to find the right spot in case she fell.
'I went over there to make sure if she fell I could catch her,' St  Bernard said. 'I’m not a hero — anybody would have done it. I did it out of normal instincts.'
The father of four said that one of his own children is about her age.


Savior: MTA bus driver Steve St Bernard, 52, was waiting below with his arms outstretched and managed to catch the girl


Close Call: Both were taken to Coney Island Hospital, where St Bernard was treated for a torn tendon in his left bicep and the girl was found to be uninjured

We hear about heroes as if all you have to do is put on a uniform of some sort and you automatically become one.......A hero is someone with personal qualities(who may or may not wear a uniform) who steps up to the plate when called by duty to his fellow man and whose brave and principled actions are carried out without thought for his/her own safety or profit...... Well done Sir!
