Aaron Tucker dropped everything when he jumped off the bus to save strangers in a traffic accident. The 32-year-old man from Connecticut was riding a packed bus on Wednesday morning, giddy from finally attending a job interview. The ex-prisoner woke up at 5 am that morning and left the Isaiah House in Bridgeport, Conn, with only two dollars in his pocket.

The job interview was obviously an important event for him and can even be called his lifeline.

But Aaron soon made headlines because he missed the job interview to save complete strangers.

He took a short nap on the bus heading to the place where he had an appointment for a job interview, but was later woken up. He spoke to Daily News on how he got involved with the incident, "I looked up and saw a car flipped over right in front of the bus, so I ran to try to jump out of the bus."

The bus driver, however, was unfazed by this.

"I said I was going to help him and asked the driver if he was going to wait for me, and he said, 'no, I am going to leave you,'" said the man.

But that didn't stop him from jumping out to save people anyway.

He continued, "I saw a lot of smoke coming from the car, and I just jumped off the bus and ran to the car."

He approached the car on the driver's side and calmly unbuckled the seatbelts to remove the man from the overturned car. Then he took off his shirt that was given to him for the interview to stop the bleeding on the man's head.

Two men from a nearby body shop also came to help.

He accompanied the man throughout the time, continuously calling out to him to make sure he stayed awake. Later, he was brought in an ambulance to Norwalk Hospital.

People hailed him as a "hero," but he downplayed and said it was just him being in the right place at the right time.

Aaron previously had to serve 22 months for a weapon charge, and he now only has one goal: to get a job enough to support his young son, who was living with his mother.

Regarding the heroic act, Aaron said, "I just want everybody to know it's not about what people could do for me. It's just about me saving his life."
