Although the image of ballet dancers is generally one of grace and elegance, last Saturday Gray Davis, a member of the American Ballet Theater, let go of that subtlety to jump headlong onto the New York subway rail. York and rescue a man, just seconds before he was crushed by a train.

The altruistic scene was described by Janie Krabbe B. LeTourneau, the mother of the hero in question on her Facebook page. There she describes that, after having been at the ballet performance at Lincoln Center with her daughter-in-law (ballerina Cassie Trenary), and her son they were waiting for the train to return home. Then, on the other side of the platform, a man and a woman began to fight each other with blows. "Suddenly the woman threw the man on the train tracks."

LeTourneau relates that everyone was scared to see that man lying in that dangerous place and that nobody did anything to save him. Then miraculously a "brave young man jumped down and lifted the man to safety." To make her surprise bigger, when she could better see the man, whom she describes as “like a feather”, this was her son!

According to The New York Post, the victim, whose name has not been released, is 58 years old and was taken to the hospital. Police have already arrested the woman who pushed him: Carolyn Mack, 23.

Meanwhile, the mother of this hero in ballet slippers, explained that her son has always made her feel proud, but never as much as that night, when despite being recovering from a herniated disc for the last month, she behaved like a whole Hero: "On two 2 crowded platforms, he was the only person brave enough to jump and save that man's life," he said. Certainly an exemplary son (and human being).
