(Original Caption) 8/24/1953-New York, NY: Patrolman Stephen Kramer, balanced precariously with one foot on the window sill and one on the fire escape, holds onto the wrist of Matti Totkowska, 39, after grabbing her as she leaped from the window of her second-story apartment at 508 9th Avenue. He held her for interminable minutes until other rescuers pulled them both to safety. She was admitted to Bellevue Hospital for observation.
