USA - Man who intervened in subway attack on way to D.C. to hear Bush's address
A good Samaritan who intervened in a subway fight is headed to Washington to hear the President's State of the Union address firsthand.
"It's definitely one of the biggest honors," said Hassan Askari, a Muslim who tried to stop the Christmas-vs.-Chanukah fisticuffs.
Askari jumped into the Dec. 7 brawl on the Q train, defending two couples he did not know who were pelted with anti-Semitic slurs and beaten because they had said "Happy Chanukah."
