It's not every day you have to make a 911 call before 9 a.m.
Today, while dropping my youngest daughter off at daycare, as the doors opened on the Uptown 1 platform at 96th Street, we heard the unmistakable call for help:
“Doctor or police! We need a doctor or police here!”
The voice was coming from an overcrowded subway platform on the downtown track across the way.
Despite not being fully informed on the situation, I ended up being the first person to alert the MTA attendant about the incident and made one of the first 911 calls for help.
As it turns out, sometimes you don’t need to have all of the complete information to move forward something urgent and important. You just need to be the first to make the call.
