'I asked my passenger, 'Can I pull over?'' Sam told TODAY. ''Maybe we can help.' So we got out of the car and ran over there.'
An Uber driver is being hailed as a hero after he stopped mid-ride to rush into a burning brownstone in New York City to help rescue people before firefighters arrived.
Sam said a group of bystanders were yelling for people to get out of the residence, and that some people left the building. Soon, he and the other bystanders were screaming for people to leave the building.When he asked if everyone was out of the building, someone said they thought at least one person remained inside the brownstone.
“I was trying to run as fast as I can up the staircase, and when you’re in there, you’re nervous,” Sam said. “I’m still feeling like, ‘Oh my God, please don’t let the building blow up.’ Which might be overdramatic, but that crosses your mind — your imagination takes over.” As he was leaving with the man, Sam said he ran into a police officer and a firefighter with a hose, who both ran into the building.
