Braintree Man Saved by Postal Worker in Poor Condition

BRAINTREE, MA -An elderly man rescued by a local postal work is not doing well.

Last week, 67-year-old Richard Baker was saved when Tom Balzano, who delivers mail to his house, did not see him waiting for his social security check for two days in a row.

After Balzano called 911, Baker was taken to a local hospital, where he is in poor condition, according to NECN.

Firefighter William Cash said Baker was on the floor when emergency crews arrived at the home. He was unable to stand, with his legs unable to support him.

Firefighters believe that Baker was on the floor for up to three days.
