Strangers on a Train Save Woman's Life

A woman was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital on Tuesday after three people joined forces to keep her alive after she was found to be unresponsive on a MARTA train, WSB-TV reports.

David Hardy noticed the woman slumped in her seat while both were in a train car heading westbound. The woman had a note on her saying that she needed to get off at Arts Center, but was not responding to any stimuli. Other people on the train were taking pictures and videos of her, another rider said.

Hardy realized something was terribly wrong when he nudged the woman and she almost fell out of her seat. Hardy, who is a trained lifeguard, began examining the woman and determined she had no pulse. Hardy and two nurses who just so happened to be in the train car then put the woman on the floor and began giving her first aid.

Authorities were alerted, and MARTA police and paramedics took over from Hardy and the nurses when the train stopped at the CNN Center station.
