Big Apple straphangers rushed to each other’s aid amid the Tuesday morning mayhem at a Brooklyn subway station — where a crazed gunman opened fire inside a packed train car. The ordinary heroes sprang into action, assisting bloodied commuters strewn on the platform of the 36th Street station after a smoke bomb was deployed and gunfire burst through the Manhattan-bound N train just before 8:30 a.m. “We turned toward the train car and we see white smoke starting to billow and fill up the train car,” eyewitness Kenneth Foote-Smith told NBC News. “We see people running toward the doors that separate the train cars, and we see people banging on them, screaming for help, almost like a horror movie. “Some kind gentleman was on the other side trying to open the door to get to the connector, and unfortunately the door was jammed on our side so they couldn’t get out of the train,” he said. Dramatic images from the scene show straphangers applying pressure to wounds and comforting wounded subway riders as smoke spewed from the train car.
