ICYMI: Long Island Hero Helps Save Man's Life

In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in West Islip Patch:

LONG ISLAND, NY - Some people might not know what to do in an emergency, but after nearly 20 years of experience, Long Island resident Sohail Peter is well-trained in helping people.

Luckily, he put that training to good use on Dec. 20 when a passenger on an MTA train suffered from a medical emergency.

The 5:17 train from Grand Central bound for Wassaic was moments away from closing its doors when a customer cried for help because a fellow passenger was lying on the train floor; it looked like he had stopped breathing, and his face was blue.
