Bay Ridge hero from London attack recommended for ROTC’s Medal of Heroism
The spotlight continues to shine on Bay Ridge’s own Mark Kindschuh.
The 19-year-old Boston College student who was in a London bar with friends on June 3 during the terror attacks there and tended to a victim bleeding after a stab wound has been recommended for the ROTC’s Medal of Heroism by U.S. Senator Charles Schumer and Congressmember Dan Donavan.
“I ran over to a man on the ground who had a head wound and I used my belt as a tourniquet to apply pressure and slow down the flow of blood,” Kindschuh told this paper when he was honored by Borough President Eric Adams as hero of the month earlier this summer. “I was able to do that and just keep pressure the whole time because the flow of blood was tremendous.”
