"I was half way up the staircase, and I heard someone screaming..."

Station Agent Ralph Johnson, coming in early for his shift at Franklin Avenue as the West Indian Day Parade was getting underway, was heading up to get some jerk chicken when he heard someone screaming that there was a lady on the tracks. Running down to the platform, he saw a huddled figure and jumped onto the track bed. An incoming train was just a few car lengths away. S/A Johnson received a proclamation from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams for his act of heroism -- which he called "just another day at the MTA."
