“A woman who fell onto subway tracks and was rescued by an unidentified Good Samaritan has finally been reunited with the man who saved her life, thanks to CBS 2
Lisa Donath choked back tears as she met Ismael Feneque, who through wcbstv.com contacted CBS 2 HD to confirm that he was in fact the man who pulled Donath from the tracks on the day before Thanksgiving.
Donath recalled that morning, when after donating blood, she was on her way to work waiting for the 1-train at the 191st Street station in Washington Heights, when she grew weak and dizzy.
That’s when she suddenly fainted and collapsed onto the tracks. Feneque was only 40 feet away when he saw her tumble.
“You fell onto the tracks, I jumped in and pulled you out,” he told Donath.”
Ishmael, it’s noteworthy to mention, had contacted VIN News a day before the CBS report. He wrote to our comment section and informed us of his idendity as the rescuer. However, being that we were not able to confirm 100% the veracity of the statement, we did not post it. (Although all comments are IP monitored, that alone is not enough to support or disprove a claim.)
Therefore, we would like to bring to our readers’ attention the following matter. If anyone has any issue or claim they would like us to follow up or address personally, please send us an email at [email protected], and we will respond in turn.
Believe in yourself and all your dreams will come true. Thanks to all and may we all live in peace and harmony.
Love, Ismael Feneque
As his younger brother, I can only feel the selflessness, empathy, and intrepidness displayed by own blood. “We love life, including our own.” I love you brother!
A True Angel from Heaven!
