A school bus driver on Long Island is fighting to regain his job after being fired last week for being a Good Samaritan, apparently against company policy.
George Daw claimed he was terminated because he helped three Nassau County police detectives during last Monday’s hail and rain storm.
“I felt this was something anyone would do under the circumstances,” said Daw, 58.
Daw was driving a mini-bus carrying a teenage passenger and a bus matron last Monday as golf ball-size hail and torrential rain pelted New Hyde Park. On Hillside Avenue, Daw came upon on a stalled unmarked police car carrying detectives, according to Detective Lt. Raymond Cote. The car had been filling with water.
“They’re saying, you’ve got to help us, you’ve got to help us,” said Daw. “You’ve got to get us to the third precinct. We’re police officers.”
