Postal worker catches falling baby

Posted April 22nd, 2008 by minortopics | via www.dailygazette.com

MT is happy to announce good news for once!

Delivering mail, Lisa Harrell, a 14 year veteran of the post office, remarkably catches a baby who fell out of second story window on her mail route. The newly hailed hero chalks it up to simply being at the right place and right time. We think it’s a little more than that!

The incident occurred at 11 a.m. when Harrell was delivering a package to 306 Second St. She had an express parcel and had to deviate from her regular route.

“I was ringing the bell, ringing the bell when I noticed the upstairs window open. Then I saw the baby. Next thing you know I caught the baby in my arms,” said Harrell.

Everything happened within seconds and, before she knew it, the baby was screaming in her arms.

The child’s mother, Brenda Morales, ran outside screaming: “My baby! My baby!” She realized the window was open and her baby was gone, Harrell said.
