Dominican, William Barber is being hailed a hero for saving the lives of two young children who were trapped in a burning building Wednesday night.
Barber said he was riding his bicycle when he noticed the blaze at the home at the junction of Tanner and Cross streets.
“When I heard the little children and them a cry for help I throw down the bicycle and I head to the window”, he recalled.
He told state media after trying the front door with no success he tried to push his way through a window, but this also proved futile.
“I had to take a big stone and buss de window and then put my whole entire body inside… I (was) calling them for them to come to meet me and I just take them out; two of them”, he explained
One of the children was kept overnight at the hospital while the two others were treated and discharged.
