(NYP) – Dramatic cell-phone video shows the moment a 5-year-old girl crawls out from under a Bronx subway car that her suicidal dad had just fatally leaped in front of — with her cradled in his arms. “Little by little, my love, little by little!” one onlooker can be heard encouraging the little girl in between sobs, as she inches out from under a southbound No. 4 train at the Kingsbridge Road station. Once she grasps the outstretched arm of a good Samaritan who had lowered himself onto the track, the girl is hoisted up onto

the platform, into a crowd of shocked straphangers who rush to console her footage shows. Moments earlier, the girl’s dad, a 45-year-old Bronx man, lifted the girl into his arms and leaped in front of an oncoming train around 8 a.m., ending his life in front of horrified commuters — but miraculously leaving her nearly unscathed, authorities and sources said. The only apparent sign of any physical injury was a small trickle of blood dripping down the girl’s forehead, though she can be heard wailing in the moments after the traumatic incident. READ MORE
