Newark mayor Cory Booker reportedly came to aid of a constituent in a crisis again today. He personally assisted a man who had been struck by a car, and stayed with him until the ambulance arrived. Booker tweeted about the events that occurred.

-God bless my residents. Pulled up on pedestrian/vehicle accident. We got man stabilized & into ambulance. He’ll b OK. Thanx 2 all who helped

-I appreciate the driver. Man ran into traffic. Driver did the right thing & stayed & helped me & others aid man until medical help arrived.

-There is nothing more uplifting to the soul than human kindness and determined decency.

Earlier this year Booker saw his neighbor’s home engulfed in flames and ran inside to save her daughter’s life. He received national attention for his actions and Newark residents praised him for his heroics.
