A Niagara Falls teen is being hailed a hero after witnesses say he stepped up to help save a little boy’s life.
Five year old Davonte Handley was hit by a car at 24th and Michigan Thursday and became wedged underneath. Tony Taibi witnessed the accident.
The 14 year old asked someone for a jack, and used it to lift the car off the injured boy. Tony Taibi: “When I looked under the car I saw his face. He wasn’t saying nothin or moving he had a little blood on his mouth.”
Tony’s Mother Lisa Taibi: “Hopefully he helped save that little boy’s life. If it was my child I would hope and pray somebody would do the same for my kids. We’re all proud of him.”
Davonte Handley was released from Women and Children’s Hospital Friday.
The driver was not charged.
