NEW YORK - A Good Samaritan, shown on video dramatically rescuing a child from a Bronx fire, has moved on to another great moment: proposing marriage on live television.
Horia Cretan got down on one knee Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America." The woman, identified only as "Desiree," said yes. Cretan slipped a ring on her finger.
Moments earlier, Cretan recalled being in his store Wednesday and hearing "desperate screams."
He rushed outside, saw "waves of smoke" billowing from a fourth-floor window and used a ladder to get to the fire escape.
A firefighter handed him a limp, unconscious 4-year-old. Using a curtain as a shield from falling debris, Cretan carried the boy to safety.
The child is expected to survive.
