A Good Samaritan rushed into a burning Hempstead Village home and saved an elderly blind woman Friday.
Hepburn Morris says he was walking by the Clinton Street home when he noticed flames. Morris quickly ran inside to find 80-year-old Susan Williams, who he picked up and carried to safety.
"I don't know where I got the strength. God gave me the strength," Morris says.
Police say Williams was making lunch in her kitchen when fire broke out on the stove.
