The police are looking for a man in New York who saved the lives of multiple people during the recent winter storm in the area.
FOX News reports:
Police are searching for a man who broke into a Buffalo-area school on Dec. 23 – not to charge him with any crimes, but to thank him for his selfless actions that likely saved several lives and two dogs during last week’s brutal winter storm.
The man, who police are calling “Merry Christmas Jay,” left a note explaining that he broke a window on Friday evening so that he could bring several people inside Pine Hill School in the Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga.
“I’m terribly sorry about breaking the school window [and] for breaking in the kitchen,” the note reads.
“Got stuck at 8 p.m. Friday and slept in my truck with two strangers. Just trying not to die. There were 7 elderly people also stuck and out of fuel. I had to do it to save everyone and get them shelter and food and a bathroom.”
The local police sent out a tweet about Christmas Jay.
Do you recognize “Merry Christmas Jay”? He pulled people from cars & sheltered them in a near by school. He left a note apologizing for the damage & use of the snow blower he used to make a path to the school.We want to thank “Jay” for his heroic actions that saved people’s lives. pic.twitter.com/iqdKitwEHa
