A good Samaritan helped save the lives of several children trapped in a burning building in East New York on Friday.
Juan, also known to friends as "Spiderman" rushed to the aid of a family yelling for help from the second floor of the building.Neighbors saw Juan climb up the building and help a man pass down children from the window one by one.
He helped rescue three children ranging in age from a 3-month-old baby to a 4-year-old before he lost his footing on the side of the building. Firefighters were able to rescue the parents and one other child from the window after extending a tower ladder. The fire started on the top floor of a building on Hendrix Street between Sutter and Blake avenues just before noon.
There were six civilians and one firefighter taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries, according to the FDNY.
