SUBWAY HERO HONORED AT CITY HALL:
Council Member Leroy Comrie (2nd right) presented a New York City Council proclamation to
Queens resident Veeramuthu “Kali” Kalimuthu (center), a Columbia University mechanic who
recently risked his life to save a fallen subway passenger. The presentation took place at City Hall
on Wednesday, April 16 in the Council Chambers, where Kalimuthu was joined by his wife, children
and co-workers. Also joining the presentation is Council Member Mathieu Eugene. According to
several media reports, Kalimuthu demonstrated extraordinary heroism on Friday, March 14 when
a fellow New Yorker collapsed unconscious onto the northbound subway tracks of the No. 1 line
at the 116th station. In a truly selfless act, he jumped down and crossed the tracks to hoist the
much-larger unconscious passenger onto his shoulders and lifted him up to platform.
