| Quote: | Grown Man Saved by Mother's Milk
Thursday, May 19, 2005
Breast milk helped save a grown man's life while he was riding a New York City bus.
Three teenage hooligans thought they were being funny when they set fire to a plastic bag attached to disabled Vietnam veteran Francis Abrams' wheelchair Tuesday, the New York Post and Daily News reported.
The flames shot up from the bag, quickly spread to Abrams' jacket and threatened to engulf the entire bus.
But two women aboard the Staten Island (search) bus, one of them a new mother carrying a baby, jumped into action, dousing the flames with a bottle of water — and a sippy cup (search) full of freshly-pumped breast milk.
"It was put out with breast milk," a police source confirmed to the Daily News.
"They didn't have to do anything," a grateful Abrams, 57, said of the women to the Post. "They could have been more worried about the baby and just gotten off the bus."
The torch-happy teens, who were playing hooky from high school, ran off the bus but were quickly caught by cops.
Abrams, who lost his left leg fighting in Vietnam, didn't mind being saved by the most wholesome of human bodily fluids.
"I don't care," he told the Daily News. "It doesn't bother me." |
