In June of 2017, 31-year-old Mark Grayson Davis, a corps dancer with American Ballet Theatre, saw an unconscious man who had struck his head lying on the subway tracks in New York City. Following an altercation, a woman had pushed the victim off the platform. Gray Davis said, "instinct took over", and he leaped onto the tracks. He rolled the man over his shoulder, lifted him to the platform, at which point some bystanders pulled him to safety. Davis used his ballet training to swing his leg onto the ledge, and once elevated, was also lifted to the platform. How do you view male ballet dancers?

Gray Davis (pictured) said, "To help somebody was a great feeling". The victim recovered from his head injury in the hospital. The 23-year-old woman who pushed him, pled guilty to first degree reckless endangerment and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Do you feel the sentence fit the crime?

In October of 2017, Senator Brad Hoylman awarded Gray Davis the New York State Liberty Medal - the highest civilian honor presented by a member of the State Senate, saying, "Heroes seize a split-second moment, they embrace danger selflessly and they become role models for all of us." Do you consider Davis's behavior to be the actions of a hero?
