Stephen St. Bernard, a New York City bus driver is being hailed as a hero for saving a 
7-year-old girl, who needs special attention at home, because he caught her mid-air while she was falling from third story as she succeeded in escaping from an air conditioning unit outside a Brooklyn building. After his successful attempt, Stephen St. Bernard expressed his gratitude towards God by simply saying: "I just prayed that I'd catch her," recalled after rescuing the child on Monday. I pleaded to God: "'Please let me catch her, please let me catch her.' That's all I could say."
St. Bernard said he was walking home from work when he observed a commotion outside the Coney Island housing complex. He saw the girl standing on the air conditioning unit, seemingly unafraid and moving about. An amateur video shows St. Bernard yelling up to the girl, telling her to go back inside when she suddenly falls and he catches her in his arms.
He also added: "I picked her up and carried her. ... She kept looking around. She never closed her eyes. She never lost consciousness."
The girl was taken to a Coney Island hospital with minor injuries. St. Bernard, a father of four, suffered a torn tendon in his shoulder. Police said no charges were filed against the parents.
