On Monday, March 16, 2009, in New York City, Chad Lindsey rescued a man who fell off the platform and hit his head on the Penn Station stop subway tracks while a C train was approaching. Lindsey jumped onto the tracks to lift the man enough to allow him to be pulled back up onto the platform. A profile in the New York Times pointed out that Lindsey was appearing in the play "Kasper Hauser," in which he had to lift another actor because that character couldn't walk.
