Simmonds Saves a Baby
This is story of 30-year old unemployed and a father of two. He was going for his job interview on Monday, June 25, 2012, that when a gust of wind blew a baby stroller onto the subway tracks in Brooklyn, NY, USA. A crying baby was inside. Without hesitation, Simmonds jumped onto the tracks to save the bleeding nine-month-old David Zamara just before the train arrived. "I jumped down and I snatched the baby up," Simmonds told NY Daily News. "The train was coming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn't thinking."

His heroic deed caused him to miss his interview. On Wednesday, Simmonds was reunited with the baby he saved - right after accepting a new full-time job offer with a janitorial company. "That's the little man that got me a job today," Delroy Simmonds said during a reunion with little Zamara and his mother, Maria, at a Hospital where the child was treated for minor injuries. "It feels amazing. Just seeing him alive." When Simmonds' story made headlines, job offers started pouring in. Simmonds had been looking for a job since he was laid off as a vocational worker for the mentally challenged more than a year ago.
