New Yorker Ramiro Ocasio was dubbed a “subway hero” for leaping onto the tracks to help a stranger at Lexington Avenue and 59th Street two years ago. After lifting the elderly man back up to the platform, Ocasio was reportedly hauled back up himself just seconds before the Q train pulled into the station.
Ocasio, a records assistant and former mailroom clerk at Kirkland & Ellis with nearly a decade at the firm, got plenty of attention for the 2013 rescue. But few stories mentioned that Ocasio was already a hero to many families thousands of miles away, in Honduras.
