Stephen St. Bernard is clearly a hero, after his actions Monday afternoon.
The New York city bus driver was on his way home when he saw a seven year old girl on top of an air conditioner unit, outside of a third story window.
He made his way beneath the window, calling to the girl to go back inside, but she slipped and fell.
St. Bernard caught her before she hit the ground, saving her life.
He suffered a torn tendon in his shoulder, but is otherwise ok, and the girl suffered only minor injuries from her thirty foot fall.
The girl was autistic, and her mother was busy dealing with a sibling when the incident occurred.
Police do not expect to be pressing charges.
