Anthony Perry saw a stranger in danger and didn't hesitate—even after it nearly cost him his own life. On June 5, 2022, the 20-year-old had just stepped off a train at Chicago's 69th Street Red Line station when he saw a man lying across the electrified third rail after falling during a fight. The rail carried approximately 600 volts of electricity. A train had already stopped nearby, and the man was being shocked. While others watched in fear, Anthony jumped onto the tracks. He grabbed the man's arm and tried to pull him to safety—but the electricity traveled through the man's body and shocked Anthony, forcing him to let go. Most people would have backed away. Anthony tried again. He was shocked a second time. But he still refused to give up. On his third attempt, Anthony managed to lift the man off the rail and move him into the small space beside the tracks. Another commuter rushed in to help, guiding Anthony through CPR and chest compressions until emergency responders arrived. Thankfully, the injured man survived. Anthony's act of courage eventually reached Chicago philanthropist Early Walker, who learned that the young hero was making a difficult commute every day to get to work—taking two buses and a train, often traveling around 90 minutes each way. After late shifts, he sometimes fell asleep on the ride home and missed his stop. Walker wanted to thank him. At a community event, he first surprised Anthony with a $25 gas card. Anthony appreciated the gesture—but there was one problem. He didn't have a car. Then a tow truck pulled up. On the back was a used Audi that had been purchased for him. Anthony covered his face in disbelief. "What?" he said. Moments later, he started the engine and smiled. "Look at God, y'all." The kindness didn't stop there. Amazon Fresh later announced a $10,000 charitable donation in his honor, and the Carnegie Hero Fund recognized Anthony for his extraordinary bravery. Anthony's decision to jump onto those tracks was incredibly dangerous, and transit officials remind people that the safest response is always to alert staff or call 911 so power can be shut off. But on that day, one young man saw someone who needed help—and chose to act without thought for himself. And because of him, a stranger got home alive. ❤️ - @browneyedgurl801
