NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City ballet dancer can also add heroics to his repertoire — having saved a homeless man who was pushed onto subway tracks over the weekend. 
 
 Thirty-one-year-old Gray Davis, a dancer with the American Ballet Theater, says no one was acting to help the unidentified man who had fallen onto the subway tracks Saturday night. Davis tells The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/2rrzWCL ) that he jumped onto the tracks and lifted the unconscious man onto the platform, before swinging himself up using his ballet training. 
 
 New York Police Department officials say they arrested a 23-year-old woman in connection with the assault. 
 
 Davis was not dancing that night due to a herniated disk injury. 

 The man, who the police said was homeless and whose name was not released, was pushed onto the northbound tracks at the 72nd Street station by a woman who then fled on foot, witnesses told the police. Soon after, the police arrested Carolyn Mack, 23, of the Bronx, on an assault charge. (She told investigators she did not push the man.) He was knocked unconscious after hitting the tracks, but regained consciousness before he was taken to the hospital, the police said. 
 
 Mr. Davis, a native of Greenwood, S.C., who has been a member of the corps de ballet at Ballet Theater since 2007, was not dancing on Saturday because he was recovering from a herniated disk. But his wife, Cassandra Trenary, a soloist, had danced in both the matinee and the evening performances of “The Golden Cockerel” on Saturday, and they were leaving the theater, with his mother, when the incident unfurled. 
 
 They normally use the 66th Street station to go home from Lincoln Center, but there were service disruptions over the weekend that sent them to 72nd Street. As they waited on the downtown platform, Mr. Davis said, they watched in alarm as an altercation between a man and a woman on the uptown platform turned physical. The police said the two did not know each other but had been heard arguing. Ms. Trenary sent Mr. Davis to look for help. 
 
 When he went upstairs, he said, he found no one in the token booth, and he went down to the uptown platform just after the man had hit the tracks. Then, he said, he decided to jump down. It was only later that the danger sank in. 
 
 “It was really scary,” he said. “I don’t know if I had time to process it until I saw my wife coming down crying — then I realized it was scary.”
– Not all heroes wear tights—but New York City man Gray Davis does, in his job as a dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Davis, 31, sprang into action after a homeless man was pushed onto subway tracks on Saturday night, jumping onto the tracks and lifting the unconscious 58-year-old man to safety before swinging himself back up, the AP reports. Police say a 23-year-old woman who fled the scene on foot was arrested in connection with the assault at the 72nd Street Broadway-Seventh Avenue station. Davis, who was not dancing that night due to a herniated disk injury, was on his way home with wife and fellow dancer Cassandra Trenary after her performance in The Golden Cockerel. When the man was pushed onto the tracks after an argument, "at first I waited for somebody else to jump down there," Davis tells the New York Times. "People were screaming to get help. But nobody jumped down. So I jumped down." Davis, who is scheduled to return to the stage Monday night as a pirate in Le Corsaire, says the platform was a lot higher than he expected. "Luckily, I'm a ballet dancer, so I swung my leg up," he says.
